V&A East Storehouse

VAST&ABSORBING
Whilst in London for 2025’s D&AD New Blood Festival, staff took a trip to the recently opened V&A East Storehouse. The £65m warehouse boasts a mind-boggling 250,000 artefacts. Providing a home to the biggest Picasso in the world, a 15th century dome, a two-storey facade of the Robin Hood Gardens housing estate as well as kitchens, countless David Bowie ephemera and more, it is the museum of everything.
Entry is free, and you can stay as long as you like. There’s a lot to take in, and the experience of seeing the workings of a museum, plus seeing the conservators in action is worth the trip in itself. I heard it described as an Amazon warehouse, only stuffed with all the world’s treasures, which sums it up better than I ever could. When in London, make sure you have a look.
