The V&A in London is the world's finest museum of the decorative arts. Founded in 1852 to support and encourage excellence in art and design, it was renamed the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1899 in honour of Queen Victoria.
The magnificent building is home to 145 galleries, including the national collections of sculpture, furniture, fashion and textiles, paintings, silver, glass, ceramics, jewellery, books, prints and photographs. The collections constitute a unique international resource.
Some four million objects are held by the museum, ranging from Constable paintings to oriental ceramics, the finest collection of Italian Renaissance sculpture outside Italy as well as the most impressive collection of Indian art and artefacts outside the subcontinent. In total, the objects span at least 3,500 years of mankind's creativity.
