So much to see. Plan to return once the fashion exhibits reopen in 2028.
What a fantastic visit. Alway stunned at the free entry but equally appreciated not needing to pre book a time slot which always puts you under pressure, particularly on a short visit to a city. I’ve been to the V&A before and always gravitate to the fashion rooms right now they’re shut for a massive refurb. Quite glad they were. Meant I saw a lot more than I would normally. The upstairs view down onto the Roman pillar was a bit of a wow factor. Security staff and volunteer guides were all tremendous. Would have liked to have eaten there. Ambience seemed good but disappointed by the cost and lack of choice of the food offering. We ended up leaving the museum and ate in a nearby cafe. Didn’t feel too bad doing that as we supported a local business.

Our favourite museum. Truly free and very diverse. Antiques and modern. Not crowded and not hot.
This museum is truly free. You walk in , and there is a bucket if you choose to donate.
The temporary exhibit draws you thru the gallery. The current exhibit is Taylor Swift.
Loved the variety of exhibits and the interactive exhibits.
The interior architecture was grand.
My favorite section was the jewelry, but the historic and antique furniture was great.
There is a gift shop on the ground floor with beautiful items for sale. The retail items were more quality than the other museum stores we had been too. They had a section of Taylor Swift products , because of the current exhibits.
We really enjoyed the diversity of the museum.
