VICTORIA AND ALBERT MUSEUM Established in 1852, the V&A is the world’s leading decorative arts and design museum. Its collections span two thousand years, with works of art and design in virtually every medium, from many parts of the world. The V&A Museum’s founding principle was to make works of art available to all, to educate working people and to inspire British designers and manufacturers. Its collections expanded rapidly as it set out to acquire the best examples of metalwork, furniture, textiles and all other forms of decorative art from all periods. It also acquired fine art — paintings, drawings, prints and sculpture — in order to tell a more complete history of art and design. The V&A's collection spans the cultures of Europe, North America, Asia and North Africa, and date from ancient times to the present day. In particular, the V&A’s collection of works that originated in Britain, especially textiles, is extraordinary. The British collections enable the V&A to explain not just the history of design in the British Isles but also the broader sweep of their cultural history. ‘Quilts 1700-1945’ at the Queensland Art Gallery has been developed from ‘Quilts 1700–2010: Hidden Histories; Untold Stories’, which showed at the V&A, from March 20 to July 4, 2010. Previously, the Queensland Art Gallery staged the successful exhibition ‘Hats: An Anthology by Stephen Jones’ from the V&A in 2010.
