DesignArtOpen until 6pmFrom $2286th Street (4/5/6 trains)

Cooper Hewitt est le seul musée de la Smithsonian Institution consacré exclusivement au design historique et contemporain, avec une collection de plus de 200 000 objets couvrant le design produit, le design graphique, les textiles, les papiers peints, les dessins et les médias numériques. Il occupe les 64 salles de l'Andrew Carnegie Mansion, une demeure de style géorgien construite en 1902, qui fut l'une des premières résidences privées aux États-Unis à posséder une structure en acier et un ascenseur. Fondé en 1897 par les sœurs Hewitt à Cooper Union, le musée s'est installé dans l'Andrew Carnegie Mansion en 1976 et reste le seul musée de la Smithsonian à faire payer l'entrée.
