Three floors with a view of the vast store of objects owned by the V&A. There are mini curated displays scattered throughout but otherwise this is a fairly uncurated experience. A major attraction of the site is the David Bowie Centre where objects related to the late musician are stored with a selection on display. If you can see the cardboard tag of any object, it can be looked up on the store house database accessible from a smart-phone after scanning a QR code. All bags coats etc must be left in free lockers on the ground floor. Food & drink are available from e5storehouse on the ground floor.
