Victoria and Albert Museum

The Victoria and Albert Museum in London, named after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, was created in 1852. It is the world's biggest museum of decorative arts and design, with a permanent collection of 4.5 million artifacts. The V&A's collection encompasses 5,000 years of art, from antiquity to the present day, and is housed in 145 galleries. Textiles, costumes, glass, and pottery from Europe, North America, Asia, and North Africa are on display at the gallery.

The museum also has the world's greatest collection of post-classical sculpture, as well as the largest collection of Italian Renaissance art outside of Italy. The V&A is easily accessible from hotels because of its proximity to the South Kensington underground station, which serves the Circle, District, and Piccadilly lines. Walk north from the station through Old Brompton Road and Cromwell Place, turning right into Thurloe Place. Continue on Exhibition Road until you reach the museum on the left.

At the V&A, visitors may sample the museum's jewelry collection, which is one of the world's best and most extensive, with over 3,000 pieces. The glass collection is Europe's largest, and the metalwork area has approximately 45,000 pieces of ornamental metalwork, silver, and jewelry spanning from the Bronze Age to the current day. This comprises the national collection of English silver, as well as a variety of other intriguing objects.
