The V&A holds the world's greatest collection of art and design, spanning more than 5,000 years of human creativity. Explore furniture, fashion, ceramics, sculpture, photographs, glass, metalwork, jewellery, textiles and paintings. Highlights include the Raphael Cartoons, Tipu's Tiger, and the medieval and Renaissance galleries. The headline 2026 exhibition is Schiaparelli: Fashion Becomes Art (until 8 November) — more than 400 objects, from the Dalí Skeleton Dress to Daniel Roseberry's present-day couture. The historic Gamble, Poynter and Morris rooms of the café are architectural treasures in their own right.
