The Victoria & Albert Museum in London opened in 1852
and moved to its South Kensington site in 1857. |
| Its buildings gradually grew from the rear
of the site towards the road. The final stage was the
new four-storey building along Cromwell Road and Exhibition
Road. Designed by Aston Webb, this was built between 1899
and 1909. The facade is decorated with thirty-two sculptures
of great English artists, architects and craftsmen. The
Victoria & Albert Museum is the greatest museum of applied
and decorative arts in the world. Explore the breathtaking
permanent collections from the four corners of the globe
including fashion and textiles, sculpture, ceramics and
glass, metalwork, silver and jewellery, furniture, photography
and paintings. Don't miss the British Galeries 1500-1900,
telling the story of British design and art from the Tudor
period to the Victorian Age. |
