Room 141: Contemporary Ceramics
The McAulay Gallery
The best of contemporary ceramics from Europe, Asia and North America, provide the focus of this gallery. The changing displays reflect contemporary ceramic practice from large-scale sculptural work and specially commissioned, site-specific installations to smaller functional and decorative objects. On show are many of the Museum’s most recent acquisitions and donations by artists. The gallery includes a site-specific installation entitled 'Signs and Wonders' by the London-based ceramicist Edmund de Waal.
Room 141 is on Level 6 of the V&A South Kensington.
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.
