Art History Through The Looking Glass.

Art is to be seen, discussed, and appreciated. While access to historical artifacts in museums and exhibitions are open to all, they can be expensive and limited by the size of their exhibition space. 

The sad truth is museums don’t have enough room to show the mass of artifacts owned, and so, have to store them away from the eyes of those most wanting to see. The conscious art enthusiasts in us have been looking to find a place that is open to all, free for all, and with access to art we have never been able to see previously. 

The V&A has listened and responded with its newest endeavour, The V&A East Storehouse.

With over 100 mini curated displays and half a million artifacts spanning centuries, the V&A East Storehouse is an inspiration to the housing of art and the future of accessibility to the world around us. Unpaid access to art and history is becoming more limited, but a proposition such as this has opened eyes and raised ears to those who will listen. 

The V&A are dedicated to creative opportunity and its power to bring change, and the East Storehouse is a huge step towards a consciously curated future in the art world.

The V&A, Victoria and Albert Museum, known as the world's largest museum of applied arts, decorative arts and design, houses over 2.8 million artifacts. With a vast expanse of artifacts and limited space to display them, the V&A have created the East Storehouse to provide unprecedented, behind-the-scenes access to the V&A collections and archives. 

Housing over 500,000 artifacts, the new purpose-built public space designed by architects Diller Scofidio & Renfro is an immersive space for visitors to experience art history like they’ve never seen it before. Stretched across four levels, this transparent warehouse offers a behind-the-scenes view of the inner works of a museum, how artifacts are preserved and stored, as well as a bespoke “Order an Object Experience” allowing you to get up close and personal with your favourite pieces. 

Access to art like you’ve never seen it before.

The ‘Peace In Party Destination.

Can you create a relaxing stay out of party destination? We went to Malia, Crete to find out.

Are you in need of a relaxing break away but conscious of the price-per destination? Generally speaking, party locations across Europe are noticeably cheaper than their more rural counterparts, with millions of holiday-goers flocking to enjoy a summer of celebrations. We took to the town of Malia with a different intention to the usual demographic, to show you can have the relaxing holiday you deserve, at a fraction of the price…
