At the new V&A East Storehouse, storage takes center stage. This dynamic outpost brings the museum’s vast collections—250,000 objects, 350,000 books, and nearly 1,000 archives—into public view like never before. Far from the traditional museum experience, visitors can peer into active conservation labs, watch objects being prepared for display or loan, and even pre-order items from the archive for viewing. It’s a behind-the-scenes experience—by design. Opening soon within the Storehouse: the David Bowie Collection, a landmark acquisition made possible by the Blavatnik Family Foundation and Warner Music Group.
