US EditionCatherine Goes Behind the Scenes at Museum Stores
- The Victoria and Albert Museum has opened a purpose-built storage facility within the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, providing public access to its extensive collection of art, design, and fashion objects.
- The Storehouse seeks to enhance openness and respond to concerns by making accessible more than 500,000 creative items that have largely remained out of public view until now.
- Through the "Order an Object" service, visitors can arrange private appointments to view particular pieces from the collection, including items such as a sweater designed by Vivienne Westwood or a gown by Balenciaga, with assistance from museum staff.
- Kate described the collection as "eclectic" and noted the extraordinary enthusiasm from the public, while curator Georgia Haseldine emphasized that the entire collection is shared by everyone and should be accessible to all.
- The Storehouse's public opening enhances creative opportunity by offering close encounters with historic items, signaling a shift toward greater inclusivity in museum access.
