New Furniture Gallery opening at the V & A in December

For the first time in its history, the Victoria and Albert Museum in South Kensington London is  opening a gallery dedicated to furniture.  The opening will be some time in December, but the exact date hasn't been published yet.  We have always been able to see much of the museum's collection of furniture in other galleries, but this new gallery will focus on the design, decoration, construction and production of furniture since the 16th century.
