The Victoria & Albert Museum — also referred to as the "V&A" — is the world’s greatest museum of design and the arts.

Throughout the year, the V&A offers a wide choice of special events, exhibits and activities. Our favorite past exhibitions have included "Celebrating Art Deco" and "Versace" — a major retrospective of the work of fashion designer Gianni Versace.

The Museum features ceramics, glass, textiles, dress, silver, ironwork, jewelry, furniture, sculpture, paintings, prints, photographs and contemporary art spanning the cultures of Europe, North America, Asia and North Africa, dating from ancient times to the present day.

In addition to its extraordinary displays and extensive galleries, the museum also houses The National Art Library (NAL), a major research and reference library; the Archive of Art & Design; the Beatrix Potter Collections and the V&A Archive.
