Teachers' resource: Using the V&A at Key Stages 1 & 2
This resource is designed to support teachers at Key Stages 1 and 2 to use the V&A. The ideas take a cross-cultural approach and can be applied to English, Maths, Science, Art and History areas of the curriculum.
Study Room resource: The Great Exhibition
Prints and drawings that are not on display in the galleries can be seen in the Prints and Drawings Study Room. To make it easier for teachers and lecturers to access the most popular material with groups, we have developed themed study room resources, such as this one on the Great Exhibition of 1851, which contain original prints and drawings.
Study Room resource: The role and status of women 1900-39
Prints and drawings that are not on display in the galleries can be seen in the Prints & Drawings Study Room. To make it easier for teachers and lecturers to access the most popular material with groups, we have developed themed study room resources, such as this one on the changing roles and status of women, which contain original prints and drawings.
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.
