There are still places available on the visit to the Prints & Drawings
Study Room and the RIBA Architecture Study Room at the Victoria & Albert
Museum on Monday 16th May.
The Prints & Drawings Study Room is the V&A's study room for works of
art on paper from the Museum's collection. Over one million objects are
available, including designs, drawings, illustrations, ephemera, fashion
plates, graphics, greetings cards, miniatures, photographs, prints,
posters, wallpapers and watercolours.
The Study Room has recently re-opened following an extensive
refurbishment programme and now features an extended study area,
increased education facilities, and additional online applications. It
has also been developed to provide access to an outstanding resource of
architectural material with the introduction of the RIBA Architecture
Study Rooms, which house the RIBA collection of architectural drawings
and manuscripts.
We will meet at the Exhibition Road entrance to the Museum at 13:50
(the side entrance to the Museum at street level) and the visit will
commence at 14:00. The visit will encompass a tour of both of the study
areas and an introduction to the services offered. There will also be
an opportunity to view some of the wonderful objects from the prints,
drawings, paintings and photography collections of the V&A, and the RIBA
architectural drawings and manuscripts collections.
Entrance to the permanent galleries of the V&A are free and there will
be some time after the visit to explore them. Please see the V&A's
website for directions to the Museum: www.vam.ac.uk.
