1902年12月12日，安德鲁、路易丝和5岁的玛格丽特·卡耐基搬进了他们新落成的家，由建筑公司Babb、Cook和Willard设计，以满足“纽约最朴素、最朴素、最宽敞的房子”的钢铁大王的愿望。
112年的差异有多大。
现在，前卡内基大厦刚重新开放给公众，作为新的和改进的库珀休伊特史密森设计博物馆。

在1897，由工业家和发明家Peter Cooper的收藏孙女们作为库柏艺术与装饰博物馆，自1976以来，博物馆已经占领了具有里程碑意义的上东区豪宅，尽管当时的导演Lisa Taylor承认博物馆已经长成。这个地方（一个非常坚固的建筑，不是很漂亮的建筑）在它搬进去之前。在2004，装修和扩建的计划开始成形，一个设计梦想团队，与博物馆的国家设计奖的前几位获奖者，如Galkman MaNeER建筑师，Diller Scofidio Renfro，胡德设计，当地项目，和五角大楼，聚集在一起。9100万美元。

十年来，新库珀休伊特不仅获得了更多的展览空间，而且获得了一个真正的博物馆的完整、宽敞的感觉，而没有牺牲新格鲁吉亚的家庭魅力和精致的花园（2015年6月开放）的独特的家。一个机构被迫在祖母的房子周围踮着脚尖，用杰里的摆设来适应现代建筑法规的印象已经荡然无存。

“我们的目标是让设计变得有趣、有启发性、让人沉浸其中。”

这一目标在十个首次展览和装置中的许多都是显而易见的。“难道这不是管理生活的唯一方法吗？”

Enhanced public access on each of the mansion's four floors is made possible by a new stairwell, part of the interior renovation designed by Gluckman Mayner Architects in collaboration with Beyer Blinder Belle Architects & Planners, LLP.

On the ground floor, a hands-on Process Lab allows visitors to immerse themselves in design practice through physical and digital activities to emphasize how design is a way of thinking, planning, and problem solving, and provides a foundation for the rest of the design concepts on view in the museum. Photography: Matt Flynn. © Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum

The inaugural display in the Models & Prototypes gallery focuses on exceptional staircase models by aspiring and established craftsmen. Dating from the 18th to the early 20th century, they display the structure and design for staircases in pulpits, bell towers, church domes, department stores, and private homes, as well as document the European tradition of design instruction. Courtesy of Cooper Hewitt, National Design Museum, Smithsonian Institution

Devoted to the museum's permanent collection, 'Making Design' features furniture, lighting fixtures, tableware, clothing, jewellery, books, and posters that provide an overview of key elements of design such as color: in this case, red. Photography: Matt Flynn. © Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum

On the second floor, the new Immersion Room features more than 200 examples of Cooper Hewitt's collection of wallcoverings and allows visitors to select their favorite or draw their own designs, and then project full-scale versions onto the gallery walls. Photography: Matt Flynn. © Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum

An installation of bird cages is part of Hewitt Sisters Collect, the first exhibition to share the story of Sarah and Eleanor Hewitt, who in 1897 established a museum within Cooper Union modeled on the Musee des Arts Decoratifs in Paris and London's V&A, which later became the basis for the Cooper Hewitt's collection. Photography: Matt Flynn © 2014 Cooper Hewitt, Smithsonian Design Museum
