About

The V&A calls itself the world's leading museum of art and design, and the fashion, ceramics and sculpture galleries make a fair case for the claim. The cast courts, filled with full size plaster copies of European monuments, are the sleeper hit most first time visitors never expect. General admission is free, and the courtyard cafe is a genuinely pleasant place to sit even without visiting the collection at all.
