"Undiscovered images of art and design."

A sensational search engine that, for the first time ever, takes you into the basements and attics and dust closets of Britain's Victoria & Albert Museum, letting you see what's accumulated over the centuries.

Trying it out, I put the word "birds" in the search box, and got back the images shown in this post; they were among the 180 (on 16 pages of results) that came back.

You could spend a lifetime on this site and never run out of stuff to see.

Consider those who've worked at the V & A for decades: they seem to have done so quite nicely.

"Images to inspire."
