Art and Photography visit to V&A

30th January 2020

Year 12 pupils studying A-level art and photography took the opportunity to enjoy the aesthetic delights of the Victoria and Albert Museum‘s latest exhibitions.

The V&A is the world’s leading museum of art and design, housing a permanent collection of over 2.3 million objects that span over 5,000 years of human creativity. The Museum holds many of the UK's national collections and houses some of the greatest resources for the study of architecture, furniture, fashion, textiles, photography, sculpture, painting, jewellery, glass, ceramics, book arts, Asian art and design, theatre and performance.

Pupils engaged with the museum’s permanent collections before moving on to the main event of the day, the popular Tim Walker exhibition.

Titled Tim Walker: Wonderful Things, Walker’s latest photographic phenomenon forays into the fantastical, as he takes the viewer on an immersive journey into his extraordinary creative process.

One of the world’s most inventive photographers, Tim Walker’s unusual approach first captured the imaginations of anyone rifling through the pages of Vogue Magazine in the mid 1990s. More on Tim Walker and his work can be found here.
