The Circulation Department - Victoria and Albert Museum

This is an article on the much lamented Circulation Department of the V&A, this was designed to encourage the Museum to send its objects around the Country. The exhibitions were a great support for regional art schools, and regional museums.



It was set up, I think around1909, and killed off by Sir Roy Strong in 1977, because of funding cuts.
