V&A Magazine

Published three times a year, V&A Magazine covers all aspects of the visual arts -architecture, design, craft, photography, fashion and fine art - taking the V&A's exhibition and display programme as its starting point.

V&A Magazine aims to be as accessible,
intelligent, entertaining and visually appealing
as the museum itself. It is available either as
part of the V&A's membership package or on subscription

In the Summer 2010 issue of V&A Magazine

• Jan Dalley unpicks a tale of two Raphaels as this September, after 495 years apart, Raphael's legendary tapestries for the Vatican will be reunited with the V&A "cartoons", the blueprints the Flanders weavers used to make them.
  
• Thirty years after they were taken, the photographs from the pages of New Society that feature in a new V&A display portray a vision of Britain which has now largely disappeared. Paul Barker, New Society's editor for eighteen years recalls the magazine, while some of the photographers remember the pictures.
  
• Tom Dyckhoff relishes the V&A's1:1 Architects Build Small Spacesexhibition, the new show that brings seven small and not-so-small retreats to six different spaces within the museum.
  
• Ceramicist Edmund De Waal, the artist behind the spectacular Signs & Wonders installation, picks some of the pots that have inspired him in his 30-year love affair with the museum.
  
• Plus the latest V&A acquisitions, books and displays previewed.
