Victoria and Albert Museum

About

This building, which originally began as an industrial museum, has transformed over time into a space holding the essence of art and craft. Amid a layered atmosphere blending medieval European decorative arts with delicate Eastern craftwork, visitors walk a path connecting past and present, following the edges brushed by fingertips and the flow of light. In particular, the architecture of the new wing creates a stillness as if natural light were slowly settling down, and those who pass through this space feel as though they were searching for traces of life within old documents. The intricate carvings of the crafted objects, like whispering voices, convey stories accumulated over a long span of time.
