The V&A's musical instrument collection
Gallery 40a, which previously housed musical instruments, closed to the public on 22 February 2010 as part of the V&A’s continuing programme of gallery renewal. Some instruments can be seen in the British Galleries and the Medieval and Renaissance Galleries, and further instruments will be displayed in the Furniture Gallery opening in 2012, and the Europe 1600-1800 Galleries, opening in 2014. In the interim, the musical instrument collection will be accessible by appointment as part of the Museum's Study Collections at Blythe House, Kensington Olympia.
Modern theatre: The repertory movement
The repertory theatre movement was forged out of the passion and conviction of two individuals, Barry Jackson and Annie Horniman who believed that a wide variety of theatrical experience should be made available to people at a price they could afford. Horniman believed that by subsidizing theatres you could both raise the standards of performance and broaden the programme a theatre could offer to its community.
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.
