Burberry Partners with V&A to Transform Fashion Gallery into The Burberry Gallery
The multi-year collaboration will modernize the iconic space, enhance access to fashion education, and showcase five centuries of global fashion when it reopens in 2027.
- The Victoria and Albert Museum's Fashion Gallery will close on May 4, 2025, for extensive renovations and reopen in spring 2027 as The Burberry Gallery.
- Burberry’s partnership with the V&A aims to create an immersive and participatory space, enhancing the visitor experience and supporting fashion education.
- The Fashion Gallery, last updated in 1962, will undergo its first major structural overhaul in over six decades.
- During the two-year closure, the V&A’s fashion collection will remain accessible online and at the V&A East Storehouse, opening May 31, 2025.
- This collaboration aligns with Burberry’s broader cultural strategy under CEO Joshua Schulman, celebrating British heritage and fostering creativity.
