Many prints and drawings that are not on display in the galleries can be seen in the Prints, Drawings and RIBA Architecture Study Rooms.

Opening times
The Victoria and Albert Museum is open from 10.00 to 17.45 daily, closed 24, 25, 26 December.
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.
