Rockefeller Foundation Gives Cooper-Hewitt $600,000 to Continue 'Design for the Other 90%'

Just six days into 2010 and things are already looking up for the museum industry. Well, with at least one museum anyway. The Cooper-Hewitt has announced that they’ve been given a $600,000 grant from the Rockefeller Foundation to bring back their popular “Design for the Other 90%” exhibit from 2007 and transform it into an ongoing series that will hope to both foster new ideas for using design to solve problems across the world and raising awareness as to what’s being done.
