The V&A + RIBA Architecture Partnership was established in 2004 by the RIBA and the Victoria and Albert Museum to promote the understanding and enjoyment of architecture. Together the RIBA and the V&A opened the UK's first permanent gallery| of architecture.
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 artefacts in one location - the V&A in London. It also combines the expertise of each institution to create an exciting programme of exhibitions and talks.
Free education programmes| using the facilities, study rooms and collections of both institutions are available to schools, colleges and universities.
