"The V&A East, which is part of a £660 million redevelopment project funded by London's City Hall, has been over a decade in the making. It is located in Stratford, which was flooded with investment money when it became the setting for the London Olympics."
"Within this strange no-man's-land, the V&A East is trying hard to build a sense of local community. The collection galleries were co-designed with the museum's Youth Collective, a group of East Londoners aged between 16 and 25."
The Victoria and Albert Museum has opened V&A East in Stratford, a new branch designed to engage the local community. This site, part of a £660 million redevelopment, aims to present art and design in an innovative manner. The galleries were co-designed with the museum's Youth Collective, emphasizing local involvement. The V&A has expanded significantly in recent years, with new sites in Dundee and Stoke-on-Trent, and aims to maintain its identity as an institution for the people.
