COLLECTIONS
Contemporary
The Porter Gallery is the hub of the
Victoria and Albert Museum's contemporary
programme. Offering a wide range of exhibitions,
events and displays, it brings the best of today's
visual culture from around the
world to the Museum. Spanning all aspects of
art and design - including fashion, furniture and
product design, craft, graphic design, digital
media, architecture and photography - the
Contemporary programme considers the
interrelationships between these art forms.
Highlight
Decode
This exhibition showcases the latest developments in digital and interactive design, from small, screen-based, graphics to large-scale interactive installations. It features both existing works and new commissions created especially for the exhibition.
Decode is a collaboration between the V&A and onedotzero, a contemporary arts organisation operating internationally with a remit to promote innovation across all forms of moving image and interactive arts.
Highlight
Friday Late
On the last Friday of every month, the V&A hosts a contemporary late night event in the museum. Centred around a theme or exhibition, the evenings feature live performances, guest DJ's and often hands-on activities as well as a late bar.
