The Disseny Hub Barcelona (DHub) is the city’s museum of design and applied arts. Located in Plaça de les Glòries, its galleries bring together graphic design, illustration, photography, sculpture, painting, fashion and digital art. It explores how design shapes everyday life, from internationally recognised objects to details that often go unnoticed. Everything reflects innovation, functional clarity and a critical perspective. It is a reminder that design is present in almost everything we use and see.

This is good to know

Don’t stop at the ground floor: the sections on graphic and industrial design, among others, reflect the breadth of local production.
Some of the objects designed for the 1992 Olympic Games are kept here. Barcelona hosted the Games, and a number of items made for the occasion are still on display.
The fashion collection includes historic textiles and haute couture from the 20th and 21st centuries, along with international pieces.
The building’s distinctive silhouette, designed by MBM Arquitectes, is defined by its large cantilever above the square, a feature that has earned it the nickname “la grapadora” (“the stapler”).
