The RIBA Library and Collections are acknowledged as one of the top three architectural resources in the world. In 2004, the RIBA moved its collection of architectural drawings, paintings and archives to its new home at the Victoria and Albert Museum - from Inigo Jones to Frank Lloyd Wright and Sir Norman Foster. Every period and style of architecture is represented.

The V&A and RIBA Architecture Partnership project provides not only a new home for the collections but also study rooms, an education room and a major new architecture gallery in the heart of the V&A and the first of its kind in a UK national museum.

The V&A and RIBA Architecture Partnership would like to express its thanks to all those generous donors inlcuding the Drue Heinz Foundation and the Heritage Lottery Fund, without whom the project would not have been possible.

There is an ongoing exhibition and associated education programme at the V&A working at bringing architecture to new and even more diverse audiences, both of which are available for sponsorship with acknowledgement offered both at the V&A and RIBA sites.
