Description: "A beautifully designed and informative guide to the collections of the Victoria and Albert Museum, the world&#x2019;s leading museum of art and design. This chunky book features the most spectacular holdings from the V&A archives and building, and explains how the Museum works to enrich people&#x2019;s lives by promoting the practice of applied art and design, increasing our knowledge, understanding and enjoyment of the designed world. Unlike a traditional &#x2018;guide&#x2019;, this souvenir book reflects what the V&A is about and for, and in doing so captures a slice of the designed world around us. V&A: A Souvenir is a desirable memento for visitors to the Museum as well as those wishing to understand more about the V&A&#x2019;s world-class collections and design values."--Publisher's description.
