The V&A Exhibition Road design by Amanda Levete Architects in London, England strives to break down the boundary that exists between the V&A Museum and the street by taking the museum onto Exhibition Road and bringing Exhibition Road into the museum. It unlocks a the potential to bring new audiences into the museum by exposing it to passersby.

Visitors are drawn in from Exhibition Road by a large, light-filled public courtyard – South Kensington’s Drawing Room – where they will be introduced to the V&A. This space will exhibit major installations and events, as well as appropriation by the public. A cafe is located in a light-filled space within the courtyard. Amanda Levete Architects design places visitors at the centre of this experience and from here they will be able to see through to the heart of the Museum, to the Hintze galleries and the Madejski Gardens.
