Members' Preview: V&A East Storehouse photo
V&A East Storehouse is a vast new public space which now houses the V&A's extensive collections of over 250,000 objects, 350,000 library books, and 1,000 archives. It offers visitors a chance to experience a working museum firsthand, allowing guests to explore the process of collecting and preserving items, and to uncover the rich stories they tell about culture and society.
 
At the heart of the space is the Weston Collections Hall, which spans three levels and features over 100 mini curated displays literally ‘hacked’ into the sides and ends of storage racking for you to explore. Highlights include insights into east London’s heritage of artistry, activism, and resistance to groundbreaking scientific research, from preserving fragile plastics to safeguarding cultural heritage.
 
All tickets for allocated timeslots have now been booked, however Members are welcome to visit on the preview days during general opening hours (10:00-18:00) though there may be a need to queue. Last entry will be at 17:00.

Valid Membership cards must be presented with tickets (if booked) to gain entry to the museum. The named cardholder must be present for the tickets to be used. You may bring one guest 16 and older if you hold a valid Plus Guest Membership. Members may also bring up to 4 children under 16.
