Victoria and Albert Museum, for its Ceramics Study Galleries
The Victoria and Albert Museum is the world's leading museum of art and design, with collections unrivalled in their scope and diversity. The purpose of the V&A is to enable everyone to enjoy its collections, explore the cultures that created them and to inspire those who shape contemporary design. The museum is focused upon a central purpose – the increased use of our displays, collections and expertise as resources for learning, creativity and enjoyment by audiences within and beyond the United Kingdom.
Some of your comments: The first time I visited the ceramic galleries at the V&A the collection was almost incomprehensible due to the lack of space and restrictive display. It utterly took my breath away when I went again this January. It is truly the most astonishing collection and the display of it is worth the long years of renovation. The supporting web interface throughout the galleries is comprehensive and so easy to use and the inclusion of technologies and studios at the end is superb. It is beyond world class - it is in a class of its own! The Ceramics Gallery at the V&A is now so much more accessable to the general public - the size and range of the collecection is mind blowing and the Gallery needs to be recognized for the wonderfully organized display of world ceramics. These galleries are brilliantly designed to show the largest possible number of pieces. This is against a disappointing trend where collectors often find that the majority of pieces are in a reserve collection. The study rooms adjacent are a wonderful facility, by arrangement, for the close study of ceramics.
