Highlights
This is more than a checklist of the V&A's most famous objects. Led by a professional historian and limited to just eight guests, the tour is designed to be conversational, engaging and personal. We'll use masterpieces and unexpected objects alike to uncover the people behind the collection: who made these objects, who used them, what they meant in their own time and why they eventually found their way into a museum. From medieval religion and Renaissance art to Victorian design, theatre and everyday life, the tour connects objects to the wider history that produced them. You'll leave not only having seen some of the V&A's greatest treasures, but with a better understanding of this extraordinary museum and the stories it preserves.

Ablauf
Discover some of the V&A's greatest treasures and unexpected stories on a journey through 2,000 years of art and design. With a professional historian as your guide, encounter the medieval Thomas Becket Casket, a Victorian shopfront rescued from Bishopsgate, the Cast Courts and the magnificent Hereford Cathedral Screen. Marvel at the Ardabil Carpet, a masterpiece of Persian art, and explore the Silver Galleries. Discover Renaissance sculpture through Giambologna's dramatic Samson Slaying a Philistine and works by Rodin. Hear the colourful history of the Great Bed of Ware and encounter Victorian theatre through Henry Irving's extraordinary devil costume. The tour culminates with Raphael's monumental Cartoons, created as designs for tapestries commissioned for the Sistine Chapel. Along the way, discover the people who made, used and collected these objects — and how they became part of one of the world's great museums. Objects seen may vary due to gallery closures or availability.
