A major new museum will open in east London this month
"The V&A East Museum will consist of both the storehouse and a new museum, with the opening date for the latter revealed last November. The eastern outpost of the V&A was originally conceived in 2016 as part of the Olympic legacy plans."
"The V&A East Storehouse opened to wide acclaim, featuring more than 250,000 objects and 350,000 books from the V&A's archives, and was recognized for its 'radically different approach' to museum-going experience."
"The project’s second stage is rooted in east London heritage and has been created with the help of young people, showcasing the community's involvement in the museum's development."
The V&A East Museum is set to open on April 18, 2026, in Stratford, following a decade of development. This new museum is part of the V&A's expansion in London, which includes the Young V&A and the V&A East Storehouse. The museum aims to reflect East London's heritage and has involved young people in its creation. Located at East Bank, the museum is easily accessible by public transport, enhancing the cultural offerings in the area.
