Exploring Hidden Histories: jewellery, textiles and sculptures...
Building on Museum-wide research (originally supported by the Heritage Lottery Fund), Exploring Hidden Histories presents a fascinating account of the V&A's collections of art and design from Africa. Many of the exhibits - including jewellery, textiles and sculpture - have never been on public view before, and the stories behind them chart the Museum's changing attitudes to African cultures from the 1850s to the present day.
