The nomadic Design Museum Boston will occupy empty storefronts around Boston, bringing design to retail areas and a whole new experience of design to the city.
Designers Sam Aquillano and Derek Cascio have paired the difficulty of raising capital to fund a large scale museum construction with the opportunity presented by empty spaces increasingly popping up in a difficult economic environment to reinvent the traditional, single-space institution to one that is scattered across locations.
