The Victoria & Albert Museum is one of three major museums in London's South Kensington - the others being the Natural History Museum and the Science Museum. Founded in the 19th century as a museum of the decorative arts, the V&A's 11km (7 miles) of corridors trace a path through paintings, jewellery, furniture and textiles dating from 3000BC to the present day. Highlights include the Raphael Cartoons, the sculpture court, the dress collection from 1700 onwards, as well as the ‘British Galleries 1500-1900', a comprehensive history of British art and design.
