140 years ago a little scraggly dog named Jim roamed our museum in South Kensington. He belonged to Sir Henry Cole, founder of the V&A.
So, we're thrilled that actor Dame Emma Thompson & illustrator Axel Scheffler are releasing a Xmas tale this year, all about Jim's adventures on Puffin Books ! ☃️🎄
Do you have a dolls' house? 🏡🧡
Look through the rooms of one of ours - made by Amy Miles in 1890, built on the memories of her childhood house in North London. It was one of the first dolls’ houses to be collected by the V&A 💫
This weekend! Express your mood in a wrist watch...
