Victoria and Albert Museum in Kusti

The V&A is an amazing museum with so much to see it could take all day. I have visited several times but always find something new with each visit. It is well laid out with good facilities and the cafe is good too with lots of space to sit inside and outside. Would definitely recommend a visit as its free!

If youre going to see a museum in London, make it this one. Its a stunning museum with more wonderful items than you can possibly see in a day! Make sure to check out the jewelry gallery early before it gets crowded. Also, no need to go elsewhere for lunch! The cafe has fantastic food and the prettiest place to eat Ive ever encountered in a museum. Definitely a must stop, even higher on my list than the British Museum!

Such a wonderful museum. We started from the top and worked our way down so we had a lot of time to look at all the amazing ceramics on the upper floors. We spent about 4 or 5 hours there and still didnt see everything.

A cavernous museum full of weird exhibits and artefacts on multiple levels. Free entry! There’s lots of monuments and antiquities and a cafe and nice toilets. The building itself is architecturally pleasing with large rooms and smaller wood panelled niches. Worth a visit is you’re in the area. Some kids activities in places but kids would probably prefer the next door science or natural history museum more.

I visited this museum in 2013 and didnt go back yet because I wasnt too interested in applied arts or decorative arts until this year. I would love to go back and see how beautiful things they have. They have a nice resting area at outdoor and it was nice to see how people chill their lives.

What a museum, this is one of the must have visit places in London. It held a range of cultures history and a rare pieces. I really recommend this place and you should walk to it early because the museum is big and you need a time to read the descriptions written on each piece ( and the museum offer an audible translationall that with free (no chargeinterning.

One of my most favourite museum with spectacular exhibitions, but also lots of free areas to visit. The cafe is gorgeous too serving amazing food, lots of healthy options to choose from. Both indoor and outdoor seating with a little paddling pool in the middle of the enclosed courtyard. A life saver in the summertime during the heath wave.

Came to the V&A for an African Fashion exhibitionI loved it! Very beautiful visuals mixed with the right amount of history and expression. Well organised. I recommend. Then I walked around the rest of the halls and went to the beautiful garden.

A wonderful museum to visit. I love wondering around the artifacts. The layout is great and feels spacious. There is constantly different exhibitions and events to visit as well. The café situated inside with the stained glass windows and tiled roof is spectacular. Its worth buying a cuppa and something to eat to marvel the room. Its easy to get to by public transport. If using the underground use the district line, get off at South Kensington Station, then its an easy walk through a well signposted tunnel to the museum. Would recommend everyone of all groups to visit, to admire the artifacts, the architecture and to learn.

A lovely museum with so much to see and learn! I particularly enjoyed the jewels, the British humour section, old furniture and the Japanese section. We paused in the cafeteria for coffee and to listen to the piano played by one of the visitors (inside). On a sunny day I also recommended sitting in the garden where you can admire the lovely design and colours of the building plus children splashing in the paddling pool. Plenty of lifts (some concealedand benches to sit on. Definitely a whole day visit plus a good choice of special exhibitions.

Everything is amazing. Art from all over the world dating back to different times. The building is incredible. Its a pleasure only to walk from a gallery to an other one. The cafe/restaurant is very good to and you can find accommodation in beautiful old age rooms. Dont miss this museum.

It is free and there is so much to see here! It would be difficult to see it all in one day. I also saw the Beatrix Potter display here (might be a temporary display- absolutely priceless to see the original manuscript of Peter Rabbit! (Special exhibits do cost money and advanced sale tickets are a must). It was very warm inside the museum, but there was a record heatwave going on.

My first time going here and i can’t believe why I have waited so long. I love everything about this place. Peaceful surrounds in a magnificent setting. Plenty of time to just stroll and really appreciate the exhibits and sculptures etc. Free entry (some exhibitions that you can pay for and which i will come back and do). Nice that there are people dotted throughout sketching etc so its nice to see their perspectives. This would have to be one of my favourite museums in the world.

beautiful place I mainly went there for the Japan collection it is huge… there are so many beautiful objects to see…The V&A is the world’s leading museum of art and design, housing a permanent collection of over 2.8 million objects, books and archives that span over 5,000 years of human creativity. The museum holds many of the UKs national collections and houses some of the greatest resources for the study of architecture, furniture, fashion, textiles, photography, sculpture, painting, jewellery, glass, ceramics, book arts, Asian art and design, theatre and performance.

Our visit to the V & A Museum was a quick one because I had my 7 year old Granddaughter with me on one of Londons hottest days. Beautiful place stuffed with fabulous exhibits. Lovely food areas and we even paddled outside in the searing heat. Unforgettable.....cant wait to go back!

A beautiful museum! If you like to take your time and admire thousands of art works then you might wanna split your time into two days of visiting. It is a huge museum with everything, from sculptures to paintings, photography, ceramics, and the list does not end

A grand and eclectic collection of artefacts both artistic and craft orientated. They are from all parts of the world; many different historical ages and in a large variety of styles: there is something for everyone young or old. (For instance this time we enjoyed the photo gallery showing artistic shots from Britains industrial past .)

My favourite place to visit in London. So much to see. Fabulous gift shop which is incredibly reasonable. The museum is free to wander. There are sometimes exhibits that you need to pre book and pay for, but you can visit for free and wander around all day.We visited the Beatrix Potter exhibit today. It was quite small and it only took about 30 minutes to get round, but spent a few hours in total.There are a few places to eat here, a cafe a restaurant and an outdoor snack/cafe place.It was a glorious day when we visited and we sat in the courtyard. The fountains were on and families and children were playing in the water. Would definitely recommend visiting here

Outstanding museum. Great variety of art, artifacts, sculptures, jewelry, and history. Middle Eastern, Asian, European and other worldwide artifacts. And dont miss the cafe when you get hungry. And all this, for FREE!

We had a spectacular experience at the V&A museum. I especially liked the cast hall and Raphael cartoons.There are far too many exhibitions to fit into one day, best to time box yourself and make multiple trips.

This is my favourite museum of all times!! If you truly want to immerse yourself in the experience of V&A, I recommend at least 5-6 hours! Very interesting exhibitions. It is a must see if you are in London!!

This is a spectacular museum with so much to recommend it I dont know where to start. The museum building outside and inside is incredibly beautiful. The medieval section has many beautiful pieces. I also enjoyed the China and Korea exhibit. Thats all I had time to see! If you are in London dont miss this gem.

This is my favorite museum in London. The exhibits are all so interesting. My favorites were the fashion, jewelry, and statue rooms. Also, Harry Styles famous cardigan is here! Lastly, this gift shop was the best museum gift shop I have EVER been to! I highly, highly recommend it.

Favourite museum from far. A must-visit if you are like me and like to explore and get lost in museum. It’s stunning and you never have enough time to see everything! I usually stay for a full day as you can eat nicely inside. If you can try to go during week days otherwise it gets pretty busy

This museum was quite enjoyable! With artifacts from all over, helpful staff who gave great context to displays to make it even more engaging, and an enormous Cast Court (next best thing to seeing some of the most famous sculptures in the world!), Im so glad we included this in our itinerary!

This is my favorite museum by far! The building is beautiful inside and out. Thoroughly enjoyed wondering around and checking out just the architecture. There’s so much to see here. I would highly recommend. It’s a must see.

The V&A has a stunning collection within a beautiful building. The current exhibit “fashioning masculinity” is well worth a visit though £20 entry is a bit steep for what it is (comparing to special exhibitions in other museums around the world). The gardens and cafe are lovely.

Gorgeous museum, must do. Much better and more exhibits than the natural history one.They have clothes, furniture and objects ranging from all over the globe and different time periods abd they have clothes on display!I highly recommend. You can easily walk around for 3 hrs.

Whenever I have a little spare time I visit the V&A one of Londons best museums. Today I enjoyed the Cast Court which is in two adjacent enormous rooms. Fortunately during the Victorian era casts were taken of various religious buildings and statues. For some of the statues they are the only ones left due to bomb damage such as the Temple Church in London.

Loved this Museum.Great collections of art from around the world.It has Tipu Sultan Loin attacking a soldier & creating noises/ music as well in south east / Indian gallery area.No ticket needed & donations are accepted.Photography is allowed.Highly recommended & must visit museum during UK 🇬🇧 visit.

I Attended a rather spectacular Faberge event here, which was truly remarkable. The food, the ambiance, the historical building including the Faberge event set up, made for an outstanding evening, that I will not forget.Although this is renowned for being a museum. I have been here on several occasions for luxury brand events, each one better then the last.Worth the visit if in London, the building is full of historical wonders. Should you attend an event, you are in for a treat. The V and A have a keen eye for detail alongside superior knowledgeable staff… what a remarkable museum!Simply amazing.

Wonderful museum and one of my favourite places! Beautiful space that is full of amazing art and artifacts. Perfect for families, with accessible spaces and lots to see. Be certain to spend time in the Middle Eastern section, which offers many surprising pieces of art that many westerners arent exposed to. Unfortunately, very little information on the impacts of colonialism or imperialism is addressed in the displays, which should be taken into consideration.

Amazing museum, with a very eclectic collection of sculpture and creative arts from about 300 AD to present day. The ceramics exhibit is astonishing, though Old World centered. Similarly, they have a glass exhibit that is phenomenal. The Cast Rooms are really interesting as well.

If you are in London and like beautiful things this is the place for you. Everything from ancient mosaics to Victorian teacups is here in this huge and beautiful museum. Paintings, sculpture, ceramics, clothing and other categories to numerous to mention, from around the world: it is all at the V&A. All amenities including a nice cafe are on site. Very close to two tube stations and in a lovely area, it is also next door to the Natural History Museum, and lots of places for upscale shopping and food.

Amazing collection of art objects of all sorts. Paintings, sculptures, stunning tableware.Beautifully laid out with a wonderful set of food, drink, and coffee options.Relaxing and lovely courtyard space with a wading pool.

This museum has a very eclectic collection. The curators have done an amazing job. A pretty big building, and every floor and every room is very well organized, the descriptions are interesting and make connections between the environment.There are big spaces with huge sculptures, and cosy rooms with very fine and small pieces.The cast room and its collection could be even a separate museum. It was beautiful, must to see.

The V & A always a great place to visit and visit again!!! They have shows, tours and focused viewings. The staff are helpful as its easy to get lost if going to see a specific era or artist, being such a vast museum. Definitely happily spend the day there. If you have a busy lifestyle its a great way to relax on a day off, it is a go to must at least once!

One of the best museums in town. You need at least half a day. Museum shop is really good. A lot of unique and beautiful materials. The garden is fantastic. Open sky, grass but inside the museum.

Amazing museum to visit. A perfect place for a person who loves art, takes the time to read, has the knowledge about art or wants to learn about it. There are so many different pieces of art to see, so take your time. Even better, spend a whole day there.

A great place to visit for all the family. There are various exhibitions to entertain and really wonderful to see a dance session which children could take part in, without a booking.The museum has numerous galleries from famous gowns to modern creations (like Harry Styles cardiganto paintings from different eras.Their copies of originals such as that of Michelangelos David are impressive to say the least.Well worth the visit especially with the family as some of the objects can be interacted with-try tying a caveat or creating your own monogram.

Better for adults than children.A great free museum for adults to expand your knowledge & feed your curiosity with activities for children including hands on ceramics (advanced bookinginteractive theatre displays with dress-up, Capability Brown tours and so much more!The cafes feel special too albeit only Benugo - live piano music inside and sitting in the central courtyard is wonderful on a nice day (with a paddle in the fountain!)Sadly one of the security guards was so harsh in manner towards my nephew when he reached out to touch a (well touchedbronze lion he will no longer to go to the V&A

I took photos inside of the less noticed lines and dots and sketches if you will; the bones of the beautiful building. That being said the variety and astounding vast charm of this versatile museum are not to be understated. Do not hesitate to explore upper levels and back channels and cubby’s and so on. We found so much more when we explored the building. From art, to jewels, iron works, photography, fashion, facades, periods, dynasty’s and so on. An exceptional museum to say the very least. A VERY good way to spend a rainy day.

Absolutely a must do in London. It is hard to explain the feeling one gets when entering each part of the Victoria and Albert Museum. There is a lovely cafe if you need to get something to drink or eat so don’t stress.Easy place to spend hour after hour after hour in and when driving home wonder if we should go back again tomorrow or next weekThe building from the outside is stunning as well. I recommend going on a Sunday as it wasn’t busy.Below scores are out of 10Customer Service 10Atmosphere 10Presentation 10Location 10Overall 10

Wonderful place, and free. Whatever your interest there is a wing you will get lost in. Over 6 football pitches of beautifully curated items. Be prepared to do a lot of walking, up and down stairs; it is a glorious warren. The staff were always around to give directions and advice.On a nice day the garden is the perfect place to have a coffee and a snack.

The description of this museum (onlinedoes not fully describe everything you will see here. It states textiles, fashion, etc. but it is so much more than that. The cast room alone is worth the visit, truly. We thought we would briefly stop in to enjoy the museum, and ended up staying for many hours. Definitely worth seeing. This and the British Museum have been my favorites on this trip. Highly recommend.

Some brilliant rooms - the cast rooms with replicas of the statue of David and other enormous jaw dropping sculptures and statues and monuments - it was worth coming for these alone. The jewellery room was also fantastic and so was the new Design exhibit. The Buddhism / Japan / Korea rooms didn’t wow me - felt stale, just walls of items in glass cabinets. Also Buddhism was located next to the entrance so was extremely noisy. The shop could be improved, the range wasn’t amazing. They only had items relating to certain exhibitions. I love gift shops and I didn’t buy a single thing. Worth a visit to this museum along with the National history museum next door.

Amazing place 🤩. I love the atmosphere of this museum. Beautiful interiors, stunning exhibitions and exhibits. This is a very good place to de-stress, also spend a nice time with friends or family. The museum is long, you can go back there many times and you will always find something new that will surprise or amaze you. I highly recommend to everyone going to London!

My favourite art museum in London! There is a mixture of modern and traditional pieces: a little something for everyone. I would recommend getting a map on entry, then deciding which sections and floors you want to see, as it is a very big museum. It wasnt busy when we went, however it might be in public holidays, so be careful.

The most Wonderful Museum ever, i went there twice for at least several hours each time and it was not enough time. Be prepared to be amazed, and get ready to walk about for hours whenever you can take a break at one of the 3 tea saloons. They are beautiful and the tea goes perfect with some scones or muffins. As a recommendation start from at ground 0 and walk your way up. Trust me when i tell you, youll be pleasantly amazed about the different galleries and abundance of displays. From underwater until the space, everything is in this museum. So take your sweet time, enjoy and be wondered at every step. Check the jewerls gallery and the gold ans silver galleries, my favorites

Best place to understand a little bit of history and culture about various lineage around the world. David sculpture is so much massive than I expected, and the story about the artist and the statue was incredible. Its good to go with children, as it ignites the curiosity to learn about the monuments present here. Quiet and calm place best fit to go with a group of friends who have the same wavelength to get to know something new.Its my first visit here, and I felt that one full day is not enough to get to know everything presented here! Still decently managed to visit various sectors in this place.
