Designed by the Stirling Prize-winning British architect Amanda Levete and her practice AL_A, the new Quarter, comprising new public areas and gallery spaces, will be the Museum’s largest architectural intervention in the last 100 years.
A diverse range of art and design commissions, performances, fashion and family activities will be staged by the V&A as part of REVEAL to celebrate the upcoming Exhibition Road Quarter opening.
