For the best possible experience and to guarantee entry at a particular time, we recommend that Members book tickets to visit the permanent collection. For our special exhibitions, we recommend you pre-book a ticket to ensure you can see the exhibition at your preferred time.
How does the V&A make money?
The Fund is provided by Arts Council England Lottery funding and is managed by the V&A as part of its national work. The Fund, run by the V&A since 1881, retains an interest in the organisations and objects it supports and collections they join, and ensures that the terms of the grant offer continue to be met.
How much is it to get into the V and A?
COVID-19: This attraction may have entry requirements and safety measures in place. For more information, check direct with the venue ahead of your visit. Admission to the V&A is free.
Is the V&A a charity?
The Victoria and Albert Museum is a charity and relies on your support. As a national museum, we are exempt from registration under Schedule 3 of the Charities Act 2011. The V&A also has a related charity: the V&A Foundation, registered with the number 1144508.
V&A Dundee is itself a registered charity and needs to raise around a third of funds required annually from individuals, trusts and corporates so we are limited in what we can give away.
Do you have to pay for the Natural History museum?
Entry to the Museum remains free, but since we closed our doors we've been losing vital income. Donations will help us to continue welcoming visitors and connecting people to nature through inspiring stories and educational activities.
