At its heart lies the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), the world's largest museum of applied arts, decorative arts, and design. The collection spans over 2.8 million objects, dating from antiquity to the present day. You'll find works from across the globe: Europe, the Americas, Africa, and Asia. Particularly intriguing are the East Asian ceramics, metalwork, and the Islamic world.
The V&A, a non-departmental public body sponsored by the Department for Culture, Media and Sport, operates in six locations across the United Kingdom, with its main location being London's South Kensington. Did you know, admission is always free?
