Victoria & Albert Museum
The Victoria & Albert Museum, often referred to as the V&A, is situated in Cromwell Road, Kensington, just along from the Natural History Museum and Science Museum. This unmistakable building is home to over 3000 years' worth of incredible artefacts from some of the world's richest cultures.
The Victoria and Albert Museum contains a world-famous collection incorporating ceramics, glass, textiles, costumes, silver, ironwork, jewellery, furniture, medieval objects, sculpture, prints, drawings, models, photographs, and more. There are well over six million objects in the V&A's collections, although not all of these are on display.
The building is a masterpiece of Victorian gothic design in its own right, with a room designed by William Morris, a ceramic staircase by Frank Moody, and frescos by Lord Leighton. Outside the Museum is a garden with a water feature and an outdoor café in summer.
The closest tube station for the Victoria and Albert Museum is South Kensington. Entry to the V&A is free, although there are charges for some exhibitions and events.
