The V&A East Storehouse opens to the public, showcasing 250,000 items from the Victoria and Albert Museum’s extensive collection that are normally hidden away. The innovative approach allows visitors to book and handle priceless artefacts, making art more accessible. This initiative stems from a need to repurpose storage as viewing space, addressing the challenge of limited display areas. The experience is designed to evoke a sense of joy and exploration, transforming traditional museum interactions and aiming to inspire creativity among its visitors.
The V&A Storehouse allows access to 250,000 objects, bringing art storage out of hiding and into public view, redefining museum experience.
By inviting people behind the scenes, the V&A wants visitors to feel like they are trespassing, fostering joy and inspiration through innovative access to art.
