Visit the V&A’s new Theatre and Performance Galleries
Event: See Pete Townsend's smashed guitar
Date: All year
Earlier this year, the Victoria and Albert Museum unveiled a new gallery to display highlights from its extensive Theatre Collections.
The idea behind the plan was to redisplay the items and take visitors on a journey through performance, from the initial concept through to audiences' reactions.
It means guests at the luxury London hotel the Egerton House can see all the highlights from the famous Theatre Collections, including costumes, set models, stage props and various famous items such as the smashed guitar belonging to The Who star Pete Waterman.
There will also be several paintings, photographs and theatrical prints from the mediums of pop music, circus shows, drama and dance.
After enjoying the collection, visitors can head back to the Egerton House and get ready to attend a theatre show of their choice, thanks to the It's Showtime package.
The deal includes two tickets to a performance of choice, subject to availability, a pre-theatre afternoon tea session beforehand and a full English breakfast the following morning.
