The V&A + RIBA Architecture Partnership is the name given to the initiative of the
Victoria & Albert Museum| and the Royal Institute of British Architects to promote the understanding and enjoyment of architecture.
Together the RIBA and the V&A have opened the UK's first permanent architecture gallery| and study rooms| located at the V&A.
The Partnership brings together the holdings of the RIBA Library Drawings and Archives Collections| with the V&A's collections of architectural drawings, photographs and architectural artefacts at one location - the V&A in London. It also brings together the expertise of each institution in an exciting programme of temporary exhibitions at the V&A, the RIBA, and on tour.
The partnership is developing educational programmes and resources for schools, colleges and universities. These use the study room, collections, galleries, and the building of the V&A itself. Resources from Partnership education programmes| are available online.
