Material Tales

As we face the realities of the Earth’s limited resources, designers and users are unpicking how objects are made, and at what material cost. What are the materials that go into the objects that define our to day to day lives? And how have material innovations changed the ways in which we live today? Material Tales is the first dedicated touring exhibition developed by the Design Museum, charting the journey of the materials that have defined modern life.
