Laughing Matters - Gallery 55 & 121
V&A

Laughing Matters: The State of a Nation looks at the role of humour in debates around identity, empire and power over the past 200 years. The gallery is organised into four thematic sections, each with its own distinctively coloured corner showcase with integrated AV. The central telephone table provides AV interviews and allows visitors to add their own comments to the display.

The former study space above the gallery has been transformed into a living room for the museum adding new workspaces for all ages, bleacher seating, group tables with comfy chairs and giant bean bag, performance area and peek a boo cupboard for toys and games.
