What

What does the tour involve?

The V&A is the world’s leading museum for art & design. Founded in 1852 and named after Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert, it curates its displays to tell stories. Fashion from Coco Chanel to Jimmy Choo, sits alongside Elizabethan England and the Indian Raj. Enormous, eclectic and fascinating, it is also a lot quieter and roomier than its more famous counterparts.
