Design Museum Boston: ELEVEN Lecture
Explore the New "Creative Capital: Designed in Boston" Exhibit by Design Museum Boston with the Boston Center for Adult Education!

WHAT: Design shapes our world, but for those constantly inundated with cultural, political and social messaging, the majestic creations of art and shape seem to disappear in the background. Take a step back with the Boston Center for Adult Education(BCAE) while you expand your knowledge and appreciation of the contribution of design in our lives with the second installment of the popular lecture series “Design Museum Boston: Eleven Lecture and Exhibit Tour."
