Computer art at the V&A
The arrival of the computer into both the creative process and the creative industries is perhaps one of the most culturally significant developments of the last century. The V&A has been collecting computer art since the 1960s. In recent times, it has acquired two significant collections of computer-generated art and design, which form the basis of the UK's national collection.
Word & Image department
The Word & Image department (WID) is responsible for the Museum’s collections of prints, drawings, paintings, photographs, designs, computer art, books and archives, including 8 of the V&A’s 18 national collections. WID also leads on both the V&A and RIBA Architecture Partnership and the annual V&A Illustration Awards.

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.
