At this event, you will meet Tanner Woodford, founder and executive director of the Design Museum. He will talk about the history of the Design Museum with a walkthrough of our current exhibition, The Correct Time. The exhibition expands upon an artwork initiated in 1989 by Barbara Koenen collecting 720 donated broken clocks. It also features 24 design interpretations of the hours of the day, research on Chicago’s role in the development of time zones, and reflections on time from the incomparable Art Paul.

The Design Museum continually seeks new opportunities to uplift youth through hands-on lessons, support local artists and makers, and provide accessible means for our audience to connect with design. In 2022, we celebrate our 10-year anniversary, inspired to grow, reflect, and remain nimble as we respond to the changing ways in which museums function and engage with pertinent struggles that impact our communities.
