About this work

Ben de Lisi drew a page for the V&A’s 150th birthday album in 2007. The brief asked artists to share what inspired them about the museum’s collections. He chose a drawing to answer the call. The album gathered 150 artists, designers, architects, and photographers, each adding one page. It marked the museum’s move to South Kensington in 1857. Look up the Victoria and Albert Museum.
