Free admission
For over 40 years Alec Cobbe has been a key figure in the understanding and presentation of historic painting collections and interiors. He has also pursued a multi-faceted career as a designer, painter, picture restorer, collector and connoisseur. This display is drawn from the drawings, photographs and other archives which Alec Cobbe has generously donated to the V&A.
About displays
Complementing our permanent collections, there are many free temporary displays around the V&A. They range in size from a single case to a room.
A gift in your will
You may not have thought of including a gift to a museum in your will, but the V&A is a charity and legacies form an important source of funding for our work. It is not just the great collectors and the wealthy who leave legacies to the V&A. Legacies of all sizes, large and small, make a real difference to what we can do and your support can help ensure that future generations enjoy the V&A as much as you have.
