V&A Gilbert Galleries - Design

The Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Collection comprises some of the most beautiful and intricate objects ever made, many in precious metals, from a minute to a monumental scale. It is notable for its European and British ‘masterpieces’ including gold and silver objects, snuffboxes, painted enamels and stone and glass mosaics. At present, four galleries in the V&A (G70-73) are dedicated to showing a selection of objects from the Gilbert Collection. Around 430 objects are on display (approximately half of the entire collection). Objects are frequently loaned out and have been included in shows around the world. The Victoria and Albert Museum (“V&A”) wishes to appoint a team for the design of the Gilbert Galleries. The disciplines required are: architectural design services, structural engineers, M&E engineers, heritage consultancy, fire and access consultancy, and CDM services.
