Tonight, we are heading to the East London to visit two new V&A East Museums, V&A East Museum and V&A East Storehouse. Both opened last year and already have become must-visit museums in London.
Two museums are 15 mins walk apart. Entrance to both museums are free, but charges apply for special exhibitions (see below).
East Storehouse: This is a museum like no other. It is a radical new 'working museum' where visitors explore more than half a million stored objects in an open-access warehouse rather than traditional curated galleries. It exposes the behind-the-scenes life of a museum, letting visitors to see conservation work live and even to book appointments to handle selected objects through its 'Order an Object' system. It houses David Bowie Center and is the permanent home of the artist's archive.
East Museum: A museum of contemporary life, focuses on youth culture, creativity and communities that shape the modern Britain. Apart from permanent collections, a special exhibition 'The Music is Black, a British Story', celebrates 125 years of Black British Music with more than 100 sound tracks played directly to your headset. More than an exhibition, through immersive sound, fashion, photography, instruments and multimedia installations, it explores the power and impact of the Black British Music. You need to buy a ticket for this special exhibition.
To Book, please click here. Book 18:30 slot. If you wish to spend more time in this exhibition, book an earlier slot.
No official pre-museum meet as people may wish to visit one or both museums at different times, except if you attend The Music is Black - meet in the queue at 6:30pm or inside the exhibition.
Post Museum F&B: We will meet at 8pm at the main entrance of East Museum. Picnic if weather permits or a F&B venue (TBD) in Stratford Westfield. More detail to follow.
A WhatsApp group will be set-up for this event. If you wish to be on it, please email swcsocialATgmailDOTcom.
