Three new sculpture galleries are due to open at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, UK.
The £1.5m Dorothy and Michael Hintze Galleries will display some of the museum’s finest sculpture dating from 1600 to 1900 made by British sculptors or acquired by British patrons.
The galleries – completed under the direction of architect Eva Jiricna – will tell the story of different phases and types of sculpture.
Phase one was completed this month with the opening of the first gallery and phase two is due to be completed in May with the opening of two further galleries, following the return of the Victoria and Albert's collection of Rodin sculptures. Details: www.vam.ac.uk
