What's it like to be surrounded every day by the world's most beautiful objects?
Guardians of the Gallery goes inside prestigious cultural institutions to meet the front of house staff looking after their precious collections.
In this episode, we meet Rory Ward, a visitor experience assistant at the Design Museum in High Street Kensington, London. From the nostalgic charm of the Gameboy Colour to the striking London tube train installation, Rory takes us on a fascinating journey through some of his favourite pieces in the museum’s collection. He explores the intricate balance between form and function in design, where aesthetics and practicality collide.
But, is all design good design? Follow Rory as he delves into what truly defines great design - and whether beauty alone is enough to earn that title.
