V&A East is one of the world's most significant new cultural projects. V&A East's two landmark sites will open at the Queen Elizabeth Olympic Park, east London, in 2024 and 2025. We're seeking a design team to create the wayfinding & signage across both V&A East sites and to design the interpretation at V&A East Storehouse.
