Visitors can book private appointments to touch V&A East Storehouse artifacts

The Victoria & Albert Museum’s East Storehouse has opened a new visitor program. Guests can book one‑on‑one appointments to see hidden objects. Many of the items are normally kept in storage and not on public view. Participants are allowed to handle several of the artifacts. The initiative aims to deepen public engagement with the museum’s collection. Appointments are scheduled in advance and limited in number. The program reflects a broader trend toward interactive museum experiences. Staff hope the offering will attract new audiences.
