Young V& A museum opening after £13m revamp
By Yasmin RufoBBC News
A museum dedicated to children and Young People will reopen to The Public after a £13m redevelopment.
Formerly the V& A Museum of Childhood, the Young V& A will open on Saturday after being closed for three years.
The Free museum features over 2,000 objects dating from 2300BC to today across three new galleries - Play , Imagine and Design.
The Site in Bethnal Green in East London , which dates Back to 1872, caters for children up to age 14.
Director of the V& A Tristram Hunt said: " The V& A believes in the transformative power of creativity, and it's critical we work to support and develop The Next creative generation.
" The optimistic and transformative power of creativity radiates through Young V& A and we cannot wait to unleash it upon our teenagers to toddlers. "
The Museum has a range of of zones that include an open design studio, a games design space for teenagers and an interactive Minecraft installation in The Play zone.

Here, it's perfectly acceptable to crawl across the (beautifully renovated 19Th Century mosaic) Floor - or trot from one display to another dangling your toy bunny.
In the Q& A at the revamped, renamed Young V& A, One Child asked, " What is there to Play with? " Well, lots, actually - a whole section dedicated to it.
Even The Teenagers dropped their guard and had a bit of fun.
There are over 2000 artefacts to spark nostalgia among the grownups or conjure creative thoughts among the Young - with curious juxtapositions: a 16Th Century elephant sculpture from India - right next to a Paddington Bear and Spice Girls figurines.
A child skipped happily Back into The Bright , welcoming courtyard, her mum reassuring her, " Of course we'll be Back - it's free so we can come as much as we want! "
A programme of free events and family-friendly exhibitions will run throughout the year.
The First exhibition, Japan: Myths to Manga, will open on 14 October and takes viewers on A Journey through Japanese history to explore how landscape and folklore have influenced popular culture, technology, and design.
