Situated in the Brompton district of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea lies the world-renowned Victoria and Albert Museum. Touted as the world's largest museum of decorative arts and design, it was founded in 1852 and named after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. With 145 galleries, which occupy an area of 12.5 acres, the mind-boggling collection of artwork spans an incredible 5000 years from almost every continent.

With the museum being divided into sections, one is spoilt for choice. From drawings to photographs, ironwork to jewellery, furniture to sculpture, ceramics to glass, prints to printmaking and even textiles and costumes, the collection is unrivalled. This museum is certainly one that should not be missed.
