The Victoria and Albert Museum in London is the world's largest museum of applied arts, decorative arts and design. The holdings of ceramics, glass, textiles, costumes, silver, ironwork, jewellery, furniture, medieval objects, sculpture, prints and printmaking, drawings and photographs are among the largest and most comprehensive in the world. While is lovely little collection can hardly be said to represent the entire collection - that would be impossible in a set of a thousand volumes - this is beautifully produced and carefully edited sampling of a few choice areas.
