V&A East Storehouse

American studio Diller Scofidio + Renfro has completed V&A East Storehouse, the publicly accessible working storage facility of the Victoria and Albert Museum in London. Built as part of the East Bank cultural quarter in the Queen Elizabeth Park, the 16,000-square-metre facility houses 250,000 objects, 350,000 books and 1,000 archives, and is set to open to the public June 2025.

As a local, it’s great to see these additions of inclusive culture to the area. Exploring the space, the interconnectivity and accessibility is evident throughout. I’m sure I’ll be back to document it as time goes by.
