The Stratford-based museum, opening this month, aims to build on the success of V&A East Storehouse, which has attracted 500,000 visitors since it opened in May last year.
The V&A brand is expanding with the launch of the long-awaited V&A East Museum in Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford, east London, this month. Its director, Gus Casely-Hayford, is promising “a fresh look at contemporary culture through the V&A’s global collections”.
