Victoria and Albert Museum reveals opening date and programme for ambitious new east London storehouse

This new storehouse will house over 250,000 objects, with a design that prioritizes access and transparency, breaking down barriers between visitors and collections.

Tim Reeve stated that the storehouse sets a new paradigm for access, emphasizing that it will allow visitors unprecedented access to national collections.

The flexible 'kit of parts' system in the design will allow for easier rotation of exhibits, making experiences far more dynamic for visitors.

The V&A's 'Order an Object' service aims to provide equitable access to the entire collection, emphasizing safety and meaningful visitor engagement.
