architecture, design & graphics
North Building, Levels 2 & 6
Our diverse architecture, design, and graphics collection encompasses a broad range of design practices, including
architecture, decorative design, graphic design, industrial design, and functional craft.
The museum is also the steward of the AIGA Design Archives, a major acquisition received by the museum in 2006
representing the most comprehensive holding of American graphic design from 1980 to the present in the world.
This collection of more than 6,000 objects is augmented annually with a gift of about 300 award-winning items
from the year’s AIGA design competitions.
