V&A Craft showcases creative potential of Minecraft

Hundreds of children and families attended the V&A Minecraft workshop on the first weekend of July 2017, as part of the V&A's new Exhibition Road opening festival. Their task was to design an alternative vision for the museum's new entrance on Exhibition Road.

Our custom tool allowed workshop users to design their own masterpiece at the V&A, using a selection of pre-built architectural assets. Workshop attendees logged on to our custom Minecraft server, where they could collaborate to design their own extensions and alternatives to the V&A museum.  

Throughout the weekend we saw a wide range of impressive creations, ranging from courtyard gardens and water features to fractal torchlit halls and rainbow glass entrances! The model below shows our Minecraft version of the V&A created for the event.

Digital Kids: Imagine, Build and Reveal To celebrate the opening of the V&A Exhibition Road Quarter, and the reopening of the Sackler Centre for arts education, we've recreated this stunning new design in Minecraft. Come to the V&A on the 1st-2nd July to help design your own Exhibition Road Entrance using our custom tools built inside of Minecraft!
