V&A Storehouse

Never thought a storehouse could be so beautiful and thought provoking. An invitation to creative exploration. V&A Storehouse presents no apparent logic, segmentation or explanation to many items. I felt on a quest to know how they connect together and the story behind them. I asked myself: “If I was a curator, how would I craft a narrative in the form of an exhibit?” We don’t usually give proper credit to good museum curation. Exhibits are just there, available, neat, sometimes free of charge, and many of us just run through them. If a museum would start with a storehouse section before any curated exhibitions, almost like an inverted IKEA layout, then I think many more would truly value what they are experiencing. You don’t know what you’ve got until it’s gone.
