Victoria and Albert Museum

The V&A is a tour de force for what a great museum should be. Not only is it filled with classic art from across the world, albeit many if them replicas, but the temporary exhibitions are constantly of a high standard. The lay out is fantastic, giving each piece space to breath. It's a beautiful building close to the station. Well worth many a visit.

Become a member! This is one of my absolute favourite London museums. It’s a real treasure trove and with such elegant architecture and design, it always feels like such a treat. The paid exhibitions (in particular) are so well curated and always very relevant. I’ve actually spent almost whole days here with my family enjoying the fantastic selection of private collections; if you enjoy textiles and fashion, there really isn’t another museum anywhere near as exciting to visit. It has a lovely walled garden with a small water area which young families enjoy in the summer with ice cream and sandwiches available as well as other hot food areas. Yes it gets busy so come early but it really is a rare gem and a worthwhile experience.

My first ever visit and I took 30 sixth form design students with me. It was a very useful visit and the shear size and scale of the place is impressive. Excellent textiles exhibits as well as furniture and other design areas. We took loads of photos for research. When we go again next year we'll get students to take sketches books in order to record more of the close up detail of objects like mechanisms. Well worth the trip

The museum's in London are amazing and are full day experiences just by themselves. The V and A museum has art and design from all corners of the world and is well laid out so that you can find different exhibits easily and they complement each other. The temporary exhibit "censured" was an interesting look at the history of censorship (trust me much more exciting than it sounds). London can be a cultural delight without breaking the bank

This is the best decorative arts exhibition in the world. You can visit a dozen times and find not just a new delight but a new room full of delights just by turning down a different corridor or going up some stairs. My daughter and I once walked by chance into a fascinating ceramic workshop, having ventured to the top of the staircase on the west wing. There is a lovely courtyard, beyond which is a lovely restaurant with remarkable walls and ceiling. There are engrossing temporary exhibits such as the Alexander McQueen or the Pink Floyd. There are rooms and corridors of sculptures, some monumental, some delicate and small. There are sustained glass, whole church altars and pulpits, costumes. This is by no means an exhaustive list... There is a glass work gallery; Islamic art; jewellery...... There are members areas.... If you visit London you actually must visit this place.
