Review:
The Victoria and Albert Museum is home to the largest collection of applied and decorative arts and design in the world, housing over 2.27 million objects within its permanent collections. The museum, which was founded in 1852 in honor of Queen Victoria and Prince Albert, is located within Kensington and Chelsea's Brompton district, adjacent to London's Natural History Museum and Science Museum. Visitors can explore the free-admission museum throughout the year and view items from five millennia of art throughout its 145 galleries, which showcase pieces from the prehistoric and modern cultures of Europe, the Americas, Asia, and North Africa. Major holdings include the largest collection of post-classical sculpture in the world and the largest collection of Italian Renaissance items held outside of Italy.
