Last month, we threw open the doors of V&A East Storehouse for a careers open day like no other. With our official opening set for 31 May 2025, we wanted to give potential future employees a first glimpse into what’s coming – and, more importantly, how they can be a part of it. Whether you’re job hunting, thinking about volunteering, or just curious about what goes on behind the scenes at a museum, this event was all about showing you the different ways to get involved.
