What's your favourite museum, and why?

What makes a museum exciting for you?

The Young V&A, which is a museum in London designed for children, has won a big award - the Art Fund Museum of the Year 2024.

The Young V&A has been around for more than 100 years, and inside the museum there are lots of displays showing thousands of years of children's history.

It was up against some pretty big competitors, including museums like the National Portrait Gallery and Manchester Museum.

What is the Young V&A?

The museum was re-opened recently after a big restoration project

The Young V&A is a museum made for children, full of historical artefacts.

The museum includes more than 2,000 toys, and different rooms in the museum display the impact kids have had on the world throughout history.

Newsround Press Packers Sophie and Josh got to have a look around the museum when it had a makeover last year.

The new design was led by kids - they got to have a say in which displays would go where, and which toys would be on show.

What's your favourite museum?

Artefacts, bones, artwork - what's your favourite thing to find in a museum?

There are hundreds of museums all over the country, so your favourite could be one from your local town, a city nearby, or even in another country.

Museums give us a chance to see what the world used to be like, and different museums have different ways of showing us this - like this disgusting food museum in Sweden or this poo museum in Japan.
