TripAdvisor Traveller Rating
About
Explore the Young V&A, a newly transformed museum dedicated to the interests, skills and needs of children and teenagers.
Formerly the Museum of Childhood, the "younger sibling" of the Victoria and Albert Museum is aimed at children aged up to 14 years old.
The museum is currently closed and is due to reopen in summer 2023.
What is there to see at Young V&A?
When it throws open its doors in 2023, the Young V&A will have three permanent gallery spaces called Imagine, Play and Design.
Visitors will also be able to book tickets for shows in its temporary exhibition space. The new displays, which include items from the V&A’s main archive, are all created with children in mind.
You’ll be able to get hands-on with interactive displays, workshops and an Open Studio, and show off performance skills on the amphitheatre-style stage in the Imagine area of the museum.
This national museum for young people will focus on the issues facing children today and their achievements. Contemporary items scheduled to be on display include the skateboard of 13-year-old Olympic medallist Sky Brown.
