tours The "V&A," as it is affectionately known, is recognized as being the world's greatest repository of applied and decorative art,
containing a ravishing collection of jewelry, silverware, glass, ceramics, textiles, dress, furniture, sculpture, paintings, books, prints and photographs from all over the world. Decide what you want to see amid the 7 miles of corridors, galleries and stairs. The British Galleries, a chronological survey of British art and design from 1500 to 1900, are an attraction in themselves. The European Galleries alone are a days work. The Sculpture Galleries; the Asian and Near Eastern Galleries; the Ceramics, Glass and Jewellery Galleries; and the superb art collection are all worth seeing. The Whiteley Silver Galleries display European Silver 1400 1800.
