I don't know what D&AD awards are, but I noticed the site has those
nifty blue & green colors.

Here in Humboldt County, we gotta love the green.
Anyway, I wasn't too impressed with the designmuseum HTML site either
(no alt tags are a pet peeve of mine with such sites)--The flash site
served its purpose with me, being that: yes, I now want to visit this
museum.
We need designers/artists/whatever to push limits just as we need
usability experts to test and draw them.
One of the pages on the designmuseum site featured an iMac. The iMac
was a nifty idea. It did a lot of people a lot of good... but it has
its own usability issues...
Web designers have to seek their own level.
(or is it water that seeks its own level?)
I notice that this Friday's ALA is going to be about usability people
vs. design people.
