Enhancing the teaching and research activities of the Department
of Design, the UC Davis Design Museum explores how design shapes,
improves and makes economically viable the objects, technology
and environments we use, inhabit and experience every day.
Our Commitment
The UC Davis Design Museum is a founding adopter of the Green
Museums Accord. The Accord is a set of five principles that
propel museums to become environmental leaders, and is
administered by the California Association of Museums and the
Green Museums Initiative.
The UC Davis Design Museum takes a bold step with the exhibition
“From Concept to Creation: Inspired Shoe Design by Chris
Francis,” which showcases the colorful and imaginative footwear
created by the Los Angeles-based shoe designer. The exhibition
runs Jan. 23 through April 23, 2023, with an official opening on
Jan. 24 at 6:30 p.m.
The “Undergraduate Senior Showcase” is the annual exhibition
highlighting the breadth, talent, and diversity of the Department
of Design, as shown through the outstanding course work produced
over the past year by senior undergraduate students. The
installation runs May 15 through June 18 at the UC Davis Design
Museum.
