The V&A has transformed a large industrial shed in Olympic Park into a public-access warehouse that showcases parts of its vast collection. Aimed at increasing visibility without the constraints of traditional exhibition, visitors can explore diverse objects housed together organically. The design adds theatrical elements to the experience, allowing for a close and immersive interaction with items ranging from wood carvings to punk jackets. This initiative joins similar efforts by other museums to offer public access to stored collections, promoting appreciation of historical artifacts.
The V&A's new warehouse allows the public to explore their extensive storage collections, creating an accessible and immersive experience for museum visitors.
Unlike traditional exhibitions, the warehouse displays items without curation, inviting visitors to discover diverse objects side by side, enhancing engagement.
