Room 52a: Britain Discovery Area
In this Discovery Area, you have the opportunity to try on a hoop or tie a cravat and even attempt to put together a Rococo or Palladian picture frame. There is also information here to help you discover the differences between the two styles. Another option here is a guessing game with several unusual objects for you to identify. Finally, there are computer interactives giving you the opportunity to design your own monogram. Examples of objects such as jugs, spoons and lockets, decorated with monograms from the period are also on display here.
Room 52a is on Level 2 of the V&A South Kensington.
