V&A South Kensington
The V&A is the world’s leading museum of art and design and home to a collection spanning 5,000 years of human ingenuity. The museum opened following the success of the Great Exhibition of 1851, as the flagstone of what we now recognise as the heart of the museum district of London.
Hiring the V&A for an event is a wonderful opportunity to demonstrate your support for the arts and to associate with one of the most recognisable and admired international brands. Venue hire is vital to ensuring that the V&A continues to grow and thrive. By choosing to host your event with us, you are enabling us to maintain and enhance the Museum’s leadership in the fields of art and design and ensure that it remains a vital part of our public life and heritage.
