| Summary |
Art and Design for All reassembles some of the original core collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum to focus on its visionary approach and function as a role model for many other institutions around the world. This beautifully illustrated study places Prince Albert at the helm of the South Kensington project, the man whose vision and ambition gave us the V&A, the flagship of 'Albertopolis', London's cultural quarter for art, science and education |
