Room 129: Contemporary Glass

Contemporary Glass, room 129

The Märit Rausing Gallery

The international glass displayed in this gallery is recent work by contemporary artist-makers and designers. To maintain this contemporary character, the displays will change as newer works enter the permanent collections. At times, there may be a temporary exhibition of invited work - either a solo or a thematic show.

Room 129 is on Level 4 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.
