Victoria and Albert Museum

Popular London Museums

The Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington is one of the world's greatest museums of art and design.

As well as the permanent exhibitions at the V&A there's also a program of changing exhibitions running throughout the year.

Many of the exhibitions are FREE and cover subjects from design and fashion to photography and architecture.

Late Night Events

On the last Friday of every month (except December), the V&A hosts a contemporary late night event in the museum centered around a theme or exhibition.

These evenings are very popular and feature live performances and guest DJ's - there's also a late bar.

Admission to the V&A is free although some exhibitions and events may carry a separate charge.
