Victoria and Albert Museum

This guide to the Victoria and Albert Museum in London follows John Nevin, a gallery attendant who joined the staff in 1930 and spent two decades quietly moving objects out of the building. It also traces how the museum itself came to be, from Prince Albert's vision after the 1851 Great Exhibition to Queen Victoria laying its foundation stone. You'll hear how an ordinary staff member's familiarity became his best disguise. Listen as you walk the galleries where he once worked unnoticed.
