Cliffe Castle, Keighley

Loans to regional museums are an important way of ensuring that V&A collections and expertise reach a wider audience.

Every year the V&A lends thousands of items to temporary exhibitions throughout Britain and the world and also has almost 2000 pieces on long-term loan to museums and houses across the UK from Aberdeen to Penzance.   

The work is co-ordinated by the Registrar's section and many staff are involved: curators, conservators, packers, and photographers.

At Cliffe Castle Museum, Keighley, our objects have played a role in re-creating lost interiors.

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.
