'V&A Museum' Treasure Hunt

This location is shown only to members

Come along on Saturday 11th February for a treasure hunt around the V&A Museum!

The V&A (Victoria & Albert) Museum was founded in 1852 and is the world's largest museum of decorative arts and design, housing a permanent collection of over 4.5 million objects.  Named after Prince Albert and Queen Victoria, it's collection spans 5,000 years of art, from ancient times to the present day, in virtually every medium, from the cultures of Europe, North America, Asia and North Africa.

The treasure hunt theme will be based on the items in the museum and the answers to the clues will be found on the items themselves or on their information cards.

The treasure hunts are a good way to get to know the history of an area or museum whilst meeting new people.

How it works
We will be meeting up at 1:30pm, near the steps of the main entrance to the museum, then you will be randomly divided into teams of 5 people.


We will then give each team 15-20 written clues which you have to find the answers for.  It's up to your team to work together to find the answers. You can answer them in any order and we will provide a map of the museum to help you.  It's not a race, so you can take your time getting to know the museum.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

The team to get the most correct answers and then return to base (a local pub) will win a £10 gift voucher each
If more than one team gets the top score, there will be a tie break question back at the pub.
A £5 gift voucher will be given to each member of the team coming in second place and a prize will be given to each member of the team with the best team name.

We will be charging £4 per person to take part, apart from '2012 Full Member's where it is free!

If you can't see us outside the museum, please call. 

Look out for the group sign -

  

 

 

 

 

 

 

Look forward to seeing you there.

Regards

    Took a long time to research it, but it was good fun. Apologies if anyone couldn't hear the results being announced in the pub at the end, all the pubs in South Kensington are quite small and I couldn't book the entire pub we was in, only the back section.

    Well organised and clearly the result of much preparation. Made me look at things I had not really paid any attention to previously - so worthwhile, as well as being highly enjoyable.
