Room 41: South Asia
The Nehru Gallery
In an evocative architectural setting, jewellery, textiles, furniture, arms and armour, metalwork and paintings of the Mughal and British periods (16th to 19th centuries) are displayed, together with the arts of the Rajput kingdoms of the north and the Muslim Sultanates of the Deccan. The Museum's outstanding collections of South Asian art are the most comprehensive and important in the West.
Room 41 is on Level 1 of the V&A South Kensington.

Objects you can find in this gallery: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.
