"Reflecting their hopes and dreams": creating V&A East Museum

The V&A East Museum has opened in London, marking a major expansion of the Victoria and Albert Museum into the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park in Stratford. The new institution comprises two sites: a museum at Stratford Waterfront and a collections and research centre at Here East. The project, led by Director Gus Casely-Hayford and a dedicated team, aims to democratize access to the V&A's vast collections and engage new, diverse audiences in East London.
