UPDATE: This intricate 12th-century carving depicting the Deposition from the Cross is one of the most historically important items to have been on display at the Victoria and Albert Museum. We’re pleased to announce that the V&A has successfully raised funds to acquire this object. The acquisition is generously supported by a grant from the National Heritage Memorial Fund and Art Fund as part of a national public appeal which included support from grant-making organisations, individuals, members of the V&A Director’s Circle and Young Patrons’ Circle, V&A Members, and those who left a legacy gift in their Will. The intricate carving is heralded as one of the finest and most important examples of English Romanesque ivory carving to survive today. It will be re-united with the only known surviving piece believed to be of the same ensemble - a fragmentary ivory carving of Judas at the Last Supper, reported to have been discovered in Wakefield in the 18th century. The successful acquisition will see the sculpture enter the V&A's permanent collection and return to public display in V&A South Kensington's Medieval and Renaissance galleries later this year.

We’re overjoyed to announce that Young V&A is the Art Fund Museum of the Year 2024! 🎉 It’s been fantastic to be part of a shortlist of brilliant museums across the UK. Creativity, culture and play have such an important role in children’s lives and we’re excited to continue sparking imaginations in young people. We’ll be investing the prize money in founding a creative network and programme for early years providers along the Thames Estuary, where a higher proportion of children live in low-income households than the average in England. Celebrating our other finalists: Skipton Town Hall, Dundee Contemporary Arts , Manchester Museum and National Portrait Gallery
