Abstract

London’s Victoria and Albert Museum, the UK’s national museum of art and design, recently created a new centre for public learning through creative design. The development process was key to the project, which has resulted in one of the most innovative and attractive learning spaces in any museum today. Research, consultation and collaboration, involving the people who are going to use the building and the architects/designers from the outset, has been an approach that has worked very successfully.
