Prices & Departures

The V&A is the greatest museum of art and design, a world treasure house with collections of fabulous scope and diversity. The Museum holds over 3000 years worth of artefacts from many of the world's richest cultures. The museum's collection include objects from East Asia, South and South-East Asia, and the Middle East, ancient Egyptian artefacts to contemporary studio pottery and ceramics; fashion and jewellery; furniture; paintings, drawings and photography; and the world's most comprehensive holding of post-classical European sculpture.

The V&A was originally established in 1852, following the enormous success of the Great Exhibition the previous year. Its founding principle was to make works of art available to all, to educate working people and to inspire British designers and manufacturers. Since its foundation, the Museum and its collections have continued to grow into one of the world's greatest resources of art and design, housed in one of the finest groups of Victorian buildings in Britain.

Admission to the V&A is free, as are many of the exhibitions, but some special exhibitions and events carry a separate charge.
