Princess Kate Middleton designed a “miniexhibition” presented this Wednesday, July 30 by the prestigious Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A) in London, of which it is the godmother in the name of the British royal family.
It is a personal selection of objects from the museum’s collections, chosen during a visit last month in the new V&A antenna, opened in spring in the east of the capital.
“Objects can tell a story. A collection of objects can create a narrative, both in our past and as a source of inspiration for the future,” Kate wrote in a message that accompanies the exhibition.
Visible exhibition until the beginning of 2026
Among the chosen pieces are in particular: a porcelain vase of the Qing dynasty, made between 1662 and 1722, a Messel Oliver costume designed for the Roy Ballet The Sleeping Beauty of the Forest Played in 1960, or a watercolor of a forest landscape produced by the author of the children Beatrix Potter.
This mini exhibition pays tribute to the creators of the past and illustrates “how historical objects can influence fashion, design, cinema, art and creativity today,” V&A emphasizes in a press release.
To discover it, visitors must use the new consultation system at the request established by the museum. This service, completely free, allows everyone to select objects in the V&A online catalog, then make an appointment to observe them on the site, accompanied by a staff member.
You can access approximately one fifth from the Museum’s global collection in this four -story building, called V & A East Storehouse, located on the site of London Games Olympic 2012. The objects chosen by Kate Middleton will be visible until the beginning of 2026.
