Touring exhibition: Street Art
Contemporary Prints from the V&A
Miss Tic, 'Nous sommes tous en situation irrégulière', 2002. Museum no. E.275-2005
Exhibition available to hire
Drawn from the V&A collections, this exhibition explores Street Art as a diverse, constantly evolving, transient art form that moves across derelict buildings, bus shelters and city hoardings across the world. With the historical roots of Street Art echoing cave paintings, stencilled slogans, and images in political campaigning, the exhibition attempts to capture an ephemeral contemporary aesthetic that continues to influence mainstream graphics.

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.
