If you are going to V&A East and even if you’re not, then I strongly recommend Brendan Cormier’s brilliant, thoughtful and extremely articulate description of the thinking which has gone into V&A East, not just the V&A East Museum, but the Storehouse as well on Tim Abraham’s latest Superurbanism podcast (link below).
It includes an effective rebuttal of the idea that it is a colonialist enterprise and the most thoughtful and persuasive account of why ticketing would be a bad idea at this juncture and a tourist tax a better one.
