Study Room resource: architecture & exploring skylines
This resource contains a selection of architects' drawings from the V&A's and RIBA's Architecture collections that explore iconic buildings and skylines produced in the late 1600s to 1980s. They demonstrate a range of approaches to recording, depicting and imagining cityscapes using different drawing techniques.
Architecture in the Archive of Art & Design
The architecture collection in the Archive of Art and Design demonstrates a broad spectrum of styles, influences and interests amongst the architects it represents. For example, architect and president of the Royal Academy of Arts 1954, Alfred Edward Richardson, held a deep interest in the 18th century. This is represented in his archive which consists of many glass lantern slides depicting furniture, interiors and exteriors of buildings which mainly concentrate on the 18th century.
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.
