The Victoria and Albert Museum (or V&A as it is often
affectionately called) has been impressing visitors for over
160 years. There is so much to see within its 145 galleries
and 12.5 acres; the exhibits here cross 5,000 years, and
come from all corners of the world, allowing us to find out
more about different cultures throughout history. Ceramics,
glass, furniture, sculptures, metalwork, silver, clothing,
jewellery and much more are on display.
May highlights include:
• Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty
