Talk

Join us for an evocative exploration of the Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Collection at the V&A with Senior Curator Alice Minter.

For the past three years, Alice Minter, Senior Curator of the Rosalinde and Arthur Gilbert Collection at the V&A, has led a complete refurbishment and expansion of the Gilbert Galleries, due to open in Spring 2026. In exclusivity, she will reveal some of the curatorial concepts and challenges of the project which aims to enhance the unique position of the Gilbert Collection at the V&A: a private collection within a national museum.

The talk will be followed by a drinks reception.

This event is part of a series of talks organised by the MA in Historic Art and Design program (formerly known as the MA in Fine and Decorative Art and Design).

The event is free but booking is essential.
