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

Cooper Hewitt è l'unico museo della Smithsonian Institution dedicato esclusivamente al design storico e contemporaneo, con una collezione di oltre 200.000 oggetti che comprende design di prodotto, grafica, tessuti, rivestimenti murali, disegni e media digitali. Occupa l'Andrew Carnegie Mansion, una residenza di 64 stanze in stile georgiano del 1902, tra le prime case private negli Stati Uniti a essere costruita con una struttura portante in acciaio e a disporre di un ascensore per passeggeri. Fondato nel 1897 dalle sorelle Hewitt alla Cooper Union, il museo si trasferì nella Carnegie Mansion nel 1976 e resta l'unico museo della Smithsonian a richiedere un biglietto d'ingresso.
