A comprehensive bibliography and exhibition chronology of the
world's greatest museum of the decorative arts and design. The
Victoria and Albert Museum, or South Kensington Museum as it used
to be known, was founded by the British Government in 1852, out of
the proceeds from the Great Exhibition of 1851. Like the
Exhibition, it aimed to improve the expertise of designers, and the
taste of the public, by exposing them to examples of good design
from all countries and periods.
2,500 publications have to date been produced by, for, or in
association with the V&A. The National Art Library, which is
part of the Museum, has prepared this detailed catalogue,
supplemented by a secondary list of 500 other books closely related
to the V&A. The 1,500 exhibitions and displays recorded include
those held in the main Museum and at its branches, the Bethnal
Green Museum (now the National Museum of Childhood) and the Theatre
Museum, Covent Garden, and additionally those it has organized at
external venues, in Great Britain and abroad. The exhibitions and
publications are fully cross-referenced, and there are name, title
and subject indexes to the whole work, as well as an explanatory
introduction.
