About this work

In 2007 artist Gareth Hoskins made a drawing for a special album. The Victoria and Albert Museum turned 150 that year. He joined 150 artists invited to contribute a page about what the museum meant to them. The album celebrated the V&A’s move to South Kensington decades before. Each page could be any style—word or image. Hoskins chose drawing to show his idea. Look up architect Hoskins, Gareth next.
