To celebrate the project Design Museum Dharavi - a museum on wheels -  a very special book is created that documents the exhibitions, events and work so far. The book includes a series of essays, a manual with the 'lessons learnt’, and a small catalogue showing our collection of tea cups. The book is entirely handmade and comes in a limited edition of a hundred copies.

In February 2016 the museum opened its doors in Dharavi, a 3sq km home-grown neighbourhood located in the heart of Mumbai. Around 1 million people live here, and despite the tough conditions of their surroundings, they are capable of creating, designing, manufacturing and commercializing all kinds of goods. Design Museum Dharavi is a platform for these products and their makers, so they can be recognised by the local community, the city of Mumbai and the rest of the world. The main mission of Design Museum Dharavi is to employ design as a tool to promote social change and innovation, and to challenge the negative perception of informal settlements around the world.
