		The Victoria & Albert was not conceived as a repository for objects or a container for passivity and nostalgia.
		It was conceived as a set of exemplary spaces and inspiring experiences involving the public through participation in the ever-evolving drama of art, education and their mutual significance for society and the future.

	Boing Boing: Victoria and Albert drops reproduction charges
		Much of the work in the V&A is in the public domain but many museums practice a weird perversion of copyright: they make you agree not to take (or sometimes publish) photos you take while in their halls as a condition of entry.
		Then they assert the bizarre claim that photos of their public domain collections are themselves new copyrighted works (even though the purpose of such a photo is to apply as little interpretation, art and creativity to the shot as possible) and charge the public a monopoly rent to reproduce the photos they've produced.
		In a move which could transform art publishing, the Victoria and Albert Museum in London (V&A) is to drop charges for the reproduction of images in scholarly books and magazines.
