This Bethnal Green outpost of the Victoria & Albert Museum houses an engaging collection of toys, games, furniture and clothing as used by children from 1600 to the present day. Highlights include monumental dolls' houses, ornate cradles, ingenious clockwork cars and familiar characters from books, TV and film that always prompt a nostalgic sigh. There's also a café, a bookshop and a varied programme of child-friendly events.

Come and spark your creativity at Young V&A – the museum where children, young people and families can imagine, play and design. Be inspired by spaces, explore our collection and get creative.

Young V&A is open seven days a week. General admission is free and you don’t need to book. There may be some queues to get in to the museum at busy times through the summer, including weekends.
