Adentures in Abundance at the V&A East Storehouse

London The Victoria and Albert Museum, known as 'the V&A,' is the world's largest museum of design, decorative and fine arts. V&A East Storehouse, which opened on May 31, is grandma's attic. The V&A is a neo-Renaissance, tile-clad Victorian pile in South Kensington. The Storehouse is an industrial box in the hipster wilds of Hackney Wick, east of the City of London, repurposed from part of the media center for the 2012 Summer Olympics. The remaking of the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park as East Bank, a new cultural quarter, will include the V&A East Museum, opening in 2026.
