Young V&A Wins Prestigious 2024 Museum of the Year Award

The London museum, designed with and for children, receives £120,000 prize for its innovative approach to learning through play.

Young V&A, formerly the V&A Museum of Childhood, reopened in 2023 after a £13 million redevelopment.
The museum features over 2,000 objects across galleries focused on play, imagination, and design.
Judges praised the museum for its active, empowering, and dynamic environment.
The museum's first temporary exhibition, Japan: Myths to Manga, has drawn significant attention, including a visit from the Emperor of Japan.
Each of the other four finalists will receive £15,000 in recognition of their contributions.
