description: This is the first catalogue of Jewish artefacts housed in the Victoria &amp; Albert Museum, London. For an institution with no specific Judaica department the V &amp; A Museum has made a significant contribution to the history of Anglo-Jewry, and to Jewish art history. Few other museums started collecting Jewish objects as early as the mid-19th century, so a study of the V &amp; A holdings gives an idea of what items of ritual art were being offered for sale in the last century. The V &amp; A collection can also be used to demonstrate the changing attitudes towards Judaica over the last 130 years.
