The Victoria and Albert Museum is the world’s leading museum of art and design, full of priceless textiles, paintings, sculpture, metalwork and architecture.

In this tour we will follow the development of British art and design from 1500 to 1900 displayed in wonderfully recreated rooms, from the parlour of an 18th century London townhouse to a tiny Gothic study. We will admire treasures such as the Great Bed of Ware as mentioned by Shakespeare, embroidery done by a queen, a Robert Adam ceiling, interiors from the Houses of Parliament and wallpaper and fabrics designed by William Morris.
