Attracting 0.3 million visitors over six months in 2003, Art Deco was the most visited temporary exhibition ever held at the V&A - until Hollywood Costume in 2013. With furniture, graphics, textiles, fashion, architecture and interior design, the exhibition was a comprehensive review of this most accessible, yet complex, of styles. A reconstruction of Rulhmann’s room in the 1925 Paris exhibition; film footage of Josephine Baker’s banana dance; a reconstruction of the magnificent Strand Palace Hotel entrance; and the spectacular 1935 Auburn Boat-tail Speedster car, immersed visitors in the period with all its glamour and luxury.
