We are delighted to announce the full programme for the REVEAL festival starting on 30 June. The free festival features a series of art and design commissions, performances, fashion shows, and family activities and brings together Exhibition Road neighbours to support arts and sciences.

Listen to some of The Royal Albert Hall's top musical moments or concerts by the Royal College of Music, 'hold a cloud' with Imperial College scientists and create a Stegosaurus skeleton with Natural History Museum or your own Doodle Bug with Science Museum.

REVEAL festival is a celebration of the opening of the new V&A Exhibition Road Quarter: the biggest transformation for the V&A in 100 years and brings the Museum's architecture and collections to life.
