V&A Museum of Childhood

The V&A Museum of Childhood aims to encourage everyone to explore the themes of childhood past and present and develop an appreciation of creative design through our inspirational collections and programmes. The Museum is part of the V&A family of museums, and houses the national childhood collection. The galleries are designed to show the collections in a way which is accessible to adults and children of all ages.

As well as a full programme of exhibitions and displays, we run lots of free activities for children and families to enjoy in the Museum - visit website for more information. The Museum has a dynamic programme of temporary exhibitions produced by the Museum itself, and a variety of touring exhibitions which are relevant both to our audience and the themes of childhood.
