The Victoria & Albert Museum, or V&A, is the world’s largest museum dedicated to decorative arts and design. Its collection of ceramics, glass, textiles, silver and ironwork, costumes and furniture is vast – over 4.5 million objects are nestled within its spacious halls and archives. But if what’s inside isn’t enough to tempt you, the building in itself is worth a visit. A stunning example of over-the-top Victorian architecture, it’s a breathtaking sight to behold.
