Young V&A is a museum sparking creativity now and for the future. Created with children from early years to early teens, it is a place for young people to imagine, play and design, and get inspired by almost 2,000 toys, characters, objects and artworks on display from around the world and across history.
Young V&A is a truly inspirational museum. With a brief from its young co-designers to create ‘the world’s most joyful museum’, Young V&A has achieved that and more.
Art Fund Museum of the Year is the world’s biggest museum prize
Art Fund has supported Museum of the Year since 2008. Over the years there have been many outstanding winners and finalists.
The prize champions what museums do, encourages more people to visit, and gets to the heart of what makes a truly memorable museum.
The judges present the prize to the museum that has shown how their achievements of the preceding year stand out, what makes their work innovative, and the impact it has had on audiences.
Celebrating 10 years of Art Fund Museum of the Year with Google Arts & Culture
