An Open Letter to Cooper-Hewitt:

Over on Design Observer, journalist Alexandra Lange has some sage, smart advice for NYC's badly in-need-of-a-refresh Cooper-Hewitt design museum. She implores director Bill Moggridge to fix the museum's bulky full name (Cooper-Hewitt, National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institution), stop blaming the building's old architecture, revamp the online strategy, and curate smarter. The commenters weigh in with their thoughts, too. [Design Observer]
