Victoria and Albert Museum, a privately owned entity headquartered in the UK, was founded in 1852 and employs approximately 1100 individuals. Operating in the sector of Museums, Historical Sites, and Zoos, the organization functions as a tier 1 media tech buyer. The company operates as a museum of art and design, with collections spanning over 5000 years of human creativity across various mediums and from multiple global regions. The institution was established to make works of art available and to support British designers and manufacturers.
On February 21, 2026, discussions arose regarding the potential conclusion of the UK's quarter-century policy offering universal free entry to national museums and galleries, a 2001 initiative widely credited with enhancing cultural access and significantly increasing visitor numbers. Previously, on February 20, the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) launched an exhibition recreating YouTube's inception over two decades ago, highlighting the platform’s early digital design and cultural impact. For this exhibition, the V&A acquired a reconstructed early webpage and the first video uploaded by co-founder Jawed Karim, adding it to its permanent collection. Earlier, on February 19, ceramic artist Aya Simone Schmidt concluded her residency with the V&A Wedgwood Collection and the Danish Arts Foundation, where she investigated the relationship between art and gender within the V&A Wedgwood Collection Archive.
