V&A Shop

Very interesting exhibition on bags. Looking at them in all their guises. Some exquisite examples. So well thought out. Loved it.

One of my favourite places to visit. I love the beautiful familiar pieces and exploring new spaces. Some impressive large art works! At the moment there is some refurb work going on which has made it a little tricky to navigate, but there were lots of members of staff around to direct.

Went specifically for the Faberge exhibition. Superb if you get a chance. Tickets required. Will return soon to revisit more of this wonderful museum.

My favourite museum in London. There is so much to see and learn about history of the world and art. There are so many great exhibitions, great shop and cafe.

We had a brilliant day out here. So many wonderful exhibitions. Not enough time to enjoy it all but it’s worth a few trips. Delicious and good value for money lunches.

So much to see and such an amazing environment. Pretty much guaranteed to have a wonderful time mooching and discovering all sorts.

World class museum. Except for special exhibits it is free. Spent a rainy day visiting the 16th to 19th centuries paintings. No coat check during the pandemic.

Huge collection, well presented. Hours of fascinating things to see. Great cafe. Wonderful staff - very helpful. Thank you Albert. Thank you.
Can easily spend a morning on one small section. For example, just look at this breathtaking chair, with its patented technology for bending wood. Wonderful! Inspiring!!

Great exhibition of Alice in Wonderland. Great building and amazing cafe interior. Such an amazing Victorian building. Staff were all very helpful and polite.

The V&A never fails to deliver, beautiful, well looked after and the gift shop is always enticing!

The V&A is one of my favorite museums. The fashion gallery is outstanding. The ironwork gallery has some great Gothic Revival work by Gilbert Scott and others. Jewelry is plentiful and sparkly. However, I do wish the V&A said on the website which galleries are closed on a particular day. I went specifically to see the British and Furniture galleries today (in search of 19th century papier-mache items), all of which were closed. Disappointing for this trip specifically.

Such a fantastic museum! The Alice and Wonderland exhibition was amazing, along with all the exorbitant that the V&A have to offer.

The Victoria & Albert Museum is a magnificent building in South Kensington featuring artifacts and artwork from antiquity through the present day. Wander the halls to discover Greek and Roman sculpture, huge classical paintings and tapestries, southeast Asian religious art, medieval ironwork and silver, Christian stained glass windows, and even a collection of the queen's jewelry. There are also contemporary exhibitions on handbags, fashion, and theatre. Some of the exhibits charge an extra fee and require tickets, but the majority of the museum is free for all. Overall, the V&A is

The museum had closed again some months ago, and it will reopen on May 19.  Admission is still free, but it will now be necessary to pre-book a (timed) ticket online.  Tickets will be released monthly and will be available for a maximum of six people visiting together.  Entrance to the museum will be on Exhibition Road and exiting will be on Cromwell Road.  Both of those have no steps and are wheelchair accessible.  (Note that the tunnel entrance/exit is currently closed).  Masks will be mandatory and social distancing will be maintained.

The coatrooms will remain closed, large bags &

WOW. Three hours spent here barely covered part of the basement level and a good portion of the first floor. You could probably spend weeks in here and not see everything. There is something to see for any type of art, design, history or culture connoisseur to appreciate. There are plenty of placards explaining almost all the items on display, if you only have a short visit here grab a map and focus on the exhibits you really want to view, otherwise it's easy to lose track of time (like I did). Personally I enjoyed the Cast Courts, the Japanese arts, handicrafts and ceramics exhibit, and the

First visit to the V&A. A beautiful museum with so many free exhibitions. The building itself it stunning. Lots of choices of food as well. The garden would be amazing to see during the summer.
A must visit on a trip to London.

Whether or not the title they've awarded themselves ("the world's leading museum of art and design") is accurate I can't say. Without reservation though, I can say that the V&A is one of the best museums I've ever been to and a return visit might just be the impetus for scheduling a trip back to the UK.

Though their collection is enormous and free of charge, the V&A has come up with an enticing way to extract funds (happily) from my wallet. They get there through "special" exhibits, each requiring a separate fee to enter.

The bulk of the museum

Free! Of course you can give a donation if you happen to be so generous. As if! If it ain't free, it ain't for me! I asked the guard if I can take pictures, but he told me they have to stay on the wall. Bummer! I always make the mistake going to a museum when I don't really have time to take it all in and end up trying to learn the full historic timeline for five continents in 20 minutes. How did all these statues from across the world end up in London anyway? I picture some 18th century English bloke dragging a 2000 lbs Buddha statue through a port in Asia while thinking this will

Wow!! The V & A is one of the best museums I've been to. Gorgeous, clean and so many fascinating exhibits. I visited during my winter vacation from school and was lucky to be able to visit the amazing museum.

It has so many exhibits that I felt like I could spend days here. I think most of the things are on permanent display, from ancient pieces of pottery and coins to more modern paintings and sculpture.

When I visited, they had a special exhibition on clothes. It was fascinating and the curators obviously spent some time selecting gorgeous pieces of clothing throughout the past couple

After visiting the Natural History Museum, just right across the street, we stopped into the Victoria and Albert Museum. You put in a lot of miles walking around museums, so the first thing we did here was chill.

Part of our group wanted to venture and see more, the other half wanted to chill in the outdoor courtyard where they were serving food, drinks and children were playing in the fountain. Yours truly was part of that fun bunch.

So I'm relaxing with a glass of sauvingnon blanc and my mom with a persecco, it's hot out and we are just enjoying people watching and taking a break

Love this free museum with the amazing art and sculpture collection. I am Bummed couldn't enjoy the jewelry exhibit since it was closed by 5:30pm but the museum however was open late on Friday till 10pm. Enjoyed browsing through different sections in the
space would love to come back.

The Victoria and Albert Museum, referred to locally as the V&A, might receive less attention than its next door neighbor the Museum of Natural History. But if you visit both museums in person, the V&A is the one doing the upstaging!

Founded in 1852 and named after the current Queen Victoria and her husband Prince Albert, the massive building spans 12.5 acres and nearly 150 galleries! This is actually the largest museum of applied and decorative arts in the entire world with around 2.3 million items! You'll find artifacts from the Middle East, Europe, Asia (with some of the best East

V&A has extensive art collection, from sculptures to paintings to decorative objects. If you plan to visit this museum, set a day aside since there are lot to see. There are something for everyone.
Convenient location, valise to Tube station, great cafe for snacks or lunch and well stocked gift shop.
I will visit again on my next London trip!!

I am not a museum person, but I really enjoyed my visit here. They have a number of free guided tours. You can just pop in without a reservation. My girlfriend and I took one of the tours. Our guide had picked several exhibits of her choice and gave us a short but very informative tour. The exhibits she had chosen were very different from each other, but I thought they were somehow coherent. There were many exhibits we would have just walked pass if we hadn't had our guide. Her short tour let us "get to know" the museum and made me want to come back. After lunch, we came back and

Brilliant museum full of design inspiration with free entry to the main collection. Often some great paid special exhibitions. Also one of the best contemporary Jewellery shops in London.
