Find out more
V&A Members get a chance to see the display that explores an A-Z of themes to show how performance continues to entertain, provoke and inspire. Originally founded by Gabrielle Enthoven in 1924 with the aim of explaining ‘the working of a play from the construction of the theatre, the designing of the scenery and costumes to the smallest workings necessary in the house’, the V&A’s National Collection of Performing Arts has since grown to become one of the largest of its kind in the world.
