From Sketch To Street

This  feature exhibition that launched on Friday, July 19 2024, explored the transformative nature of car design. From Sketch to Street showed a fascinating journey across five key themes from the motor industry's design world: interior design, exterior design, functional design, materials, and trim. 

The exhibition offered a unique opportunity to witness the intriguing evolution of car design, what the process includes, and the results it provides using cars and objects from the collection and on loan to the Museum. Star display pieces included designers' initial sketches, items on loan from luxury car brands and even a highly anticipated modern clay model!

The exhibition included a range of hands-on interactives, inviting visitors to bring their own ideas to design problems or think about what would matter to them when designing a car. This all came together to form a memorable opportunity to discover the artistic and engineering visions that bring together beauty and function.

The exhibition opened on 19 July 2024 and ran until 19 March 2025.
