Victoria and Albert Museum Audio Guide: A Director's War on Taste

0.0(0)伦敦免费取消新上线

活动介绍

The V&A holds more than 2.3 million objects, yet over 80% arrived through private hands, not royal decree. On this self-guided tour, you'll trace how individual taste, ambition and obsession shaped one of the world's great design collections – and how its founders tried, and often failed, to teach the British public what good design meant. From the Cromwell Road steps, you'll meet the figures behind the Great Exhibition of 1851, spend time with William Morris's seven-and-a-half-metre Bullerswood Carpet, and see how Indian textiles redirected the museum's collecting strategy. From there: medieval jewellery, Tudor bronze, and the Ardabil Carpet, woven around 1540 for an Iranian royal shrine. You'll also hear about Henry Cole's scandalous "Chamber of Horrors" of bad design, four bronze angels that spent decades on golf club gateposts, and a Yorkshire chair faked to look older. The tour ends in the Ceramic Staircase. Bring comfortable shoes and a willingness to look closely.
