V&A Presents: The Art of Drinking Exhibition
EXHIBITION ANNOUNCEMENT


Victoria and Albert Museum
London

26 September 2007 - 26 April 2009

Drink has stimulated a rich material culture. Specific situations and drinks require particular vessels; from stoneware beer mugs to jade cups and silver goblets. These objects reflect wealth and social class as well as local custom and tradition.

By placing these often curious vessels within the context of social history we are better able to understand their function and importance.

The social history of drinking over the past 500 years encompasses pleasure and pain, tradition and innovation as well as extraordinary creativity in the decorative arts.
