The second and final phase of the V&A Photography Centre will open on 25 May 2023, becoming the largest of its type in the UK
The much-anticipated second and final phase of the V&A Photography Centre in London will open its doors on 25 May 2023, becoming the largest space in the UK to house a permanent photography collection.
Phase One of the museum’s Photography Centre was unveiled in 2018, with three galleries designed by David Kohn. This month sees the completion of the centre with an additional four galleries, designed by Purcell, and Gibson Thornley Architects.
Two major new commissions will also be unveiled, with a photographic series by Indian artist Gauri Gill, and work by British media artist Jake Elwes, the first in a series of commissions supported by the Manitou Fund. The first themed exhibition ‘Energy: Sparks from the Collection’, explores how all photographs require some form of energy to exist, and a smaller display, ‘How Not to Photograph a Bulldog’, features dog photography manuals from the Royal Photographic Society Library.
