FW: Theatre design exhibition opens at the V&A today

[Michael Wallace]

While I was quite fond of the old THEATRE MUSEUM space in Covent Garden, I
am glad to see that the V&A is following through on its plan to make its
collection accessible and am keen to hear from anyone who visits the new
space.

Work is underway for new galleries at the V&A devoted to theatre and
performance. The galleries will explore the process of performance, from the
moment of inspiration, to the design process and realisation, right through
to the verdict of critics and audience. They will feature highlights from
the V&A's extensive holdings of costumes, set models, designs and posters
covering everything from baroque to rock and pop.  The new galleries are due
to open in 2009 

  

Theatre Collections' research facilities remain open as before
