Gallery closures
We aim to open all galleries at all times. Occasionally, galleries need to be closed at short notice. If you are coming to the Museum to see something in a specific gallery, you are advised to call in advance to check before you travel.

V&A gallery research
How we develop new galleries, test concepts and ideas with our prospective visitors, ask for visitors’ feedback on various different types of interpretation that we are considering, test mock-ups and prototypes for the idaes that we are thinking of using and conduct summative evaluation.
