Design Museum London is a museum dedicated to showcasing contemporary designs in architecture, digital, fashion, product and graphics that captures the spirit of the modern era and promotes or delivers change. It is a museum founded in 1989, originally located by the River Thames in the Shad Thames area in SE1 London near Tower Bridge. The museum operates as a registered charity, and all funds generated by ticket sales aid the museum in curating new exhibitions. Entrance is expected to be free to the museum’s permanent collection display, "Designer Maker User".

In 2016, Design Museum has been moved into the former Commonwealth Institute in Kensington, London. This landmark from the 1960s, a Grade II listed building that had stood vacant for over a decade, was developed by a design team led by John Pawson who made the building fit for a 21st century museum, whilst at the same time retaining its spatial qualities.

This is what the good life looks like. The Crown Prince of Dubai, Hamdan bin Mohammed Al Maktoum, recently shared a breathtaking video of the city's skyline. And it will both terrify you and make you green with envy at the same time. In the video posted on Instagram, the Crown Prince, who goes by the handle @faz3, has captured the Dubai skyline, including the Burj Khalifa, shrouded in a blanket of white mist.

It's like the skyscrapers are floating in the clouds. The video shows Sheikh Hamdan, 34, casually sipping his cuppa in the gorgeous setting. "A world of opportunities lie beneath," he says on Instagram.

Since being shared on December 6, the video has clocked over 8.1 lakh views and 2.7 lakh 'likes' on Instagram. "That is just an amazing sight," says one commenter. "It's good view. One day I wanna go there," says another.

A day earlier, Fazza, as he's popularly called, shared a stunning picture of the skyline too.
