Young V&A in Bethnal Green is a free, child-focused museum and an offshoot of the Victoria and Albert Museum. The museum won the 2026 Council of Europe Museum Prize, recognizing institutions that centre democracy, cross-border dialogue and human rights. The prize citation highlighted Young V&A for connecting design and play with themes such as sustainability, belonging and empathy, and for actively including disabled children and those with special educational needs. Young V&A previously won the 2024 Art Fund Museum of the Year, reopened under its current name in July 2023, and houses the UK's largest collection of childhood-related objects. A major Aardman Wallace and Gromit exhibition is scheduled for 2026.
