The Chemical Brothers by Luke Dyson
The Design Museum will reopen its doors to the public from Friday 31 July 2020. The museum will open with the temporary exhibition Electronic: From Kraftwerk to The Chemical Brothers, which was originally due to open on 1st April 2020. Electronic: From Kraftwerk to The Chemical Brothers is an exhibition by the Philharmonie de Paris – Musée de la Musique, exploring the hypnotic world of electronic music, from its origins to its futuristic dreams. The London edition will feature the museum premiere of electronic pioneers The Chemical Brothers’ sensory spectacle by creative studio Smith & Lyall, featuring mesmerising visuals for the Grammy Award-winning track ‘Got to Keep On’.
Tim Marlow, Chief Executive and Director of the Design Museum said:
“This has been a positive week for many of the UK’s cultural assets, including the Design Museum. We are hugely grateful to have been awarded funding from the Arts Council Emergency Response Fund. This investment is a lifeline that enables us to do the vital work of championing the design industry and showing the critical impact that design makes to our lives. There couldn’t be a better exhibition to reopen with than Electronic: From Kraftwerk to The Chemical Brothers. A powerful statement about creative freedom across music, art, technology and design, which will be celebrating what many of us have missed the most during the lockdown; and a reminder that a lot of work is still needed to get vast areas of the cultural sector to open again.”
Entry to the museum will be by advance ticket only and the museum has temporarily significantly extended its opening hours until 9pm to accommodate visitor needs. New
