Join National Art Library and V&A Archive staff each Monday for a short talk on an item of their choosing. Museum visitors will encounter some extraordinary collection items and experience the Victorian splendour of our Reading Rooms. The National Art Library will open at 11.30 and 14.00 each Monday (except for bank holidays) for a member of Library or Archives staff to introduce the history and purpose of the Library and to talk about an item from our collections. There is no need to book, but simply arrive at the main entrance to the NAL on the First Floor just before the session begins.
