Exhibitions currently running:

Top to Toe: Fashion for Kids - Drawing from the Museum's outstanding collection, Top to Toe explores the fascinating world of children's clothing - separating the myths from the realities. Items on show include a stunning 1700s wrapping gown, an 1800s boy's hat, a muff made of peacock feathers and the popular 1970s 'snorkel' parka coat. Until 19 April.

Warli & Weave - Warli painting and Kutch weave, both forms of traditional Indian craft, come together in this unique exhibition, focusing on how children from two rural communities learn and develop skills critical to sustaining livelihood. Warli & Weave takes as its starting point the personal stories of two nationally recognised Indian craftspeople - celebrated Warli artist Ramesh Hengadi and award-winning Kutch weaver Dayal Vankar - describing how, as children, they first became involved with their craft. The exhibition explores the enduring qualities of traditional craft as well as how contemporary practice has developed in response to changes in family and community life, along with shifts in local markets and global economics. Until 31 May.

Snozzcumbers and Frobscottle - Step into the quirky and humorous world of Quentin Blake and Roald Dahl with Snozzcumbers and Frobscottle, a celebration of the coming together of two amazing creative forces. Dahl's extraordinary stories, such as The Twits, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory and George's Marvellous Medicine, are a must-read for children, brought perfectly to life through Blake's unique illustrations. The exhibition brings together original manuscipts and illustrations as well as unique Dahl-related objects and interactive exhibits and activities exploring the creative process. From 2 May until 6 September.

The V&A Museum of Childhood is open from 10:00 until 17:45 every day. Admission is free.
