V&A’s £30m New Medieval and Renaissance Galleries Near Completion
November 2nd, 2009 § 1 Comment
The great Medieval and Renaissance collections at the V&A Museum, presenting a range of European art and craftsmanship from the years 300 to 1600 will once again be accessible to the public, when it re-opens its new galleries on 2 December 2009. This project has taken nearly a decade to complete affecting 70 per cent of the museum’s collections.
Mark Jones, the V&A’s director, summarised the aims in a public statement: “This exercise will enable the V&A to claim to be a world-class 21st-century museum with beautiful contemporary displays and a revitalised historic building. Anyone who last visited the V&A before 2001 would find it almost unrecognisable today.”
