Something truly beautiful on the calendar today - a range of wallpaper that takes its inspiration from the 1951 Festival of Britain, including the RFH and the Skylon.



But that's not all ... a group of scientists in 1951 designed the wallpapers for many of the buildings based on chemical or crystalline structures, and these are now available again. This is insulin, designed by Robert Sevant, on the V&A website.

Advent Calendar 2024

24th December 2024

Made it! Hope you enjoyed all of our pictures, stories and videos this year. There's lots we didn't manage to fit in, like (Dave Walker  https://cartoonchurch.com/ ) (V&A Christmas Tree by Anna Lomax https://www.vam.ac.uk/event/wkwjeoDARmw/christmas-tree-installation-2024 ) What if Bach wrote Last Christmas? If you are on the socials over the next few days, check out the hashtags #DuvetKnowItsChristmas #XmasWithTheInlaws #AdamsCooking on Twitter and Bluesky. And we'll see you again next year. Lots of love!
