Photographs Acquisition Group
Members of this engaged group of philanthropists support the V&A by donating to a vital fund for photography acquisitions.
This helps the V&A continue to develop one of the largest and most important photography collections, freely available to everyone, which sparks the imagination with outstanding examples of creativity and provides researchers and photographers with a sourcebook for knowledge and inspiration.
Since 2011, the group has enabled over 50 bodies of work (totalling more than 450 prints) to be acquired for the enjoyment of the public. They are put on display in our Photography Centre, exhibitions, feature in publications or are used for educational projects and new research.
Enjoy a close association with our Photographs curators and the wider museum. The group meets twice a year to:
◾ Discuss which works will be acquired with the fund
◾ Learn about our collecting strategy
◾ Attend special behind-the-scenes events
◾ Visit photographers’ studios and photo fairs in the UK and abroad
