Stirling Prize-winning architect Amanda Levete and her firm AL_A has completed its new entrance and gallery at the Victoria and Albert Museum on Exhibition Road, London.
The V&A Exhibition Road Quarter comprises an alternative entrance to the museum, as well as extra gallery space and a courtyard.
The £54.5 million scheme by Levete’s London-based firm, which was first announced back in 2012, provides 6,400 square metres of extra space for the museum.
