Order an Object at the V&A East Storehouse

Free

If you haven’t paid a visit to the new V&A East Storehouse yet, it’s not just a regular museum; here you can put in a request to study an object up close and personal – and for free.

Explore the collections online to find the object you’d like to examine more closely, book a free appointment (with a plus one, if you like) and their curators will bring it out just for you and help you during your visit. Over 1,000 objects have been ordered so far – with the most-ordered object a 1954 Balenciaga evening dress.    

If you’re just generally curious then you can join in one of the Object Encounters, free group sessions highlighting different objects in Storehouse which run several times a day at V&A East Storehouse.

Organisers may cancel events, alter schedules, or change admission requirements without notice. Always check official sites before heading to an event.
