Cooper Hewitt ist das einzige Museum der Smithsonian Institution, das sich ausschließlich historischem und zeitgenössischem Design widmet, mit einer Sammlung von mehr als 200.000 Objekten aus den Bereichen Produktdesign, Grafikdesign, Textilien, Wandbekleidungen, Zeichnungen und digitalen Medien. Es ist in der 64 Zimmer umfassenden Andrew Carnegie Mansion untergebracht, einem 1902 errichteten Stadthaus im georgianischen Stil, das zu den ersten Privathäusern in den USA mit einem tragenden Stahlgerüst und einem Personenaufzug zählte. Das Museum wurde 1897 von den Hewitt-Schwestern an der Cooper Union gegründet, zog 1976 in die Andrew Carnegie Mansion um und ist bis heute das einzige Smithsonian-Museum, das Eintritt verlangt.
