This coming spring, the Victoria and Albert Museum (V&A), the London-based institution focused on design and applied and decorative arts, will debut the V&A East Storehouse, a publicly accessible storage facility within Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, the site of the 2012 Summer Games. By allowing the V&A to put much of its vast collection on display, the 170,000-square-foot Storehouse, designed by Diller Scofidio + Renfro (DSR), “will transform the museum’s back-of-house into a cultural experience,” says the museum’s deputy director, Tim Reeve.
