Located at Here East in London's Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, the V&A East Storehouse reinvents the idea of museum archives and storage. With a superb design led by Diller Scofidio + Renfro, the Storehouse brings treasures out of storage and into public view for the first time in generations. The centre is a purpose-built home for 250,000 objects, 350,000 books and 1,000 archives from the V&A’s collection of fashion, textiles, furniture, theater and performance, metalwork, ceramics, glass, sculpture, architecture, paintings and product design. Visitors are invited on a behind-the-scenes journey that uncovers and demonstrates how and why objects are collected, how they are cared for, conserved and researched and how they help make sense of our past, present and future as part of exhibitions and public programmes.
