Opening up and diversifying the arts sector has been a long-term personal mission of V&ADirector, Gus Casely-Hayford.
That’s where ‘Your Collection’ comes in. The programme takes objects from V&A's collection out to the schools, universities, and communities of east London. Removing all barriers, Your Collection visits open up the conservation around the history and stories of each object.
Take a look at Guy's visit to the UCL East campus last year, where our students were introduced to 3 objects, each with unique and complex stories.
Please note that this event is open to History of Art students and staff only.
