The V&A’s Fashion collection is one of the largest and most comprehensive in the world, attracting millions of visitors. Through a series of talks, hands-on workshops and behind-the-scenes tours, this one-week intensive course will guide you through how best to develop, manage and conserve your own fashion and dress collection. Delivered by V&A fashion curators and conservators, this course is a unique opportunity for museum professionals to develop their own fashion and dress curation skills and to build a strong international peer network with other museum professionals.
We are thrilled to be able to share our knowledge and insight in this field with many museum colleagues from around the world through this course. Dr Tristram Hunt, Director of the V&A
