Room 125c: Influences from Beyond Europe
In Victorian Britain, retailers sold a growing range of goods imported from Asia and the Islamic world. These countries provided new sources of inspiration for designers seeking to break away from the historic European styles that dominated British design during the 19th century. Also on display here are advertising posters from the 19th century and information on new training available for designers.
Room 125c 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.
