Victoria and Albert Museum
Victoria and Albert Museum
The Victoria and Albert Museum has been collecting examples of good design from around the world since 1850. It has dedicated galleries for European and Asian art. Its African objects are scattered across the museum, however there has been recent work to catalogue those items for the first time, and a complete list is open to all in the Prints and Drawings Room at the top of the building.
