Red Dot Design Museum in Singapore

Red Dot Design Museum is the physical embodiment of the international Red Dot Design Award — one of the largest design awards in the World. Learn and enjoy good design from over 200 design works on exhibition. Visit the design shop where you can find a large collection of design objects, and enjoy local desserts at the museum cafe.

While its name may lead you to believe that this institution is local in origin (Singapore is, after all, nicknamed the ‘Little Red Dot’), the Red Dot Museum springs from the Red Dot Design Award, which was first held in Germany.

Since 1955, the first Red Dot Design Museum has been an international showcase of stellar works of products and industrial design, with award winners being showcased on its premises in Essen. The second Red Dot Design Museum was built in Singapore in 2005, and is the first and only of its kind in Asia.

Located in the scenic Marina Bay District, the Red Dot Museum’s full glass façade and striking geometrical forms makes it one of several notable works of architecture to be found in the neighborhood.

Together with its sister museum in Essen, Singapore’s Red Dot Design Museum forms the world’s largest display of contemporary design, with all 2,000 exhibits having won the coveted Red Dot Design Award.

For a refreshing dose of creativity, visit the unique Red Dot Design Museum – the only one of its kind in Asia. The contemporary design museum has a collection of over 1000 exhibits – each one a winner of the prestigious International Red Dot Design Award. Experience some of the best designs in the world in the field of product design and communication design at the Red Dot Design Museum.
