Summary of the lecture

Dr. Tristram Hunt is director of the V&A (The Victoria and Albert Museum): the world’s leading museum of art, design, and performance. During this talk, he’ll explore the Museum’s global story, from its foundations in the 1851 Great Exhibition - the first international exhibition of design and manufacture - to the new V&A Gallery at Design Society.
