Victoria and Albert Museum

ArtDesignHistoryClosed · Opens 10am

The V&A is a labyrinth of 150 galleries covering 5,000 years of human creativity — fashion, furniture, ceramics, photography, theatre, architecture. You could visit fifty times and still discover rooms you've never seen. The Cast Courts alone, with their floor-to-ceiling plaster replicas of Renaissance masterpieces, justify the trip. The Friday Lates are a London institution.
