Explore titles from the V&A

Explore an exciting series of open access books published by UCL Press and the world-renowned V&A.

Each title shares new, high-quality research relating to the V&A’s collections and practices. They offer critical reflection on issues of relevance to the cultural and heritage sector, and to academic disciplines ranging from art history to museum studies to education. Books in the series are as eclectic as the V&A itself. Published works feature Nazi-era provenance research; the influence of photographs not on public display in museums; and a re-assessment of the India Museum collection that transferred to the South Kensington site. The series is growing, so watch this space.
