Opis

A comprehensive bibliography and exhibition chronology of the Victoria and Albert Museum, founded by the British Government in 1852 out of the proceeds of the Great Exhibition of 1851. Like the Exhibition, it aimed to improve the expertise of designers, and the taste of the public, by exposing them to examples of good design from all countries and all periods. The 1500 exhibitions and displays recorded include those held in the main museum, and at its branches, the Bethnal Green Museum and the Theatre Museum, Covent Garden. The exhibitions and publications are fully cross-referenced, and an explanatory introduction is also provided.
