Mojang took over the Victoria and Albert museum on the 30th of August with a range of activities including workshops, music, talks and of course art!
On the last Friday of every month, the V&A host their ‘Friday Lates’. These events often include live music, art installations, lectures, food/drinks, and much more – based on a range of different themes. ‘The World of Minecraft’ was my first Friday Late, and I had such a great time! I am really looking forward to going to more.

At the event, I had a quick chat with Digital Spy, who posted a fantastic write up of the event. One of their favourite parts of the event was how the museum embedded Minecraft related artwork throughout the museum. This was carried out almost like a treasure hunt, as the museum staff would give out guides on what items were in which room. I thought this was such a clever way into making children look at the art and design in the museum. My favourite memory of the event is the DJ playing pop songs – but remixed to Minecraft lyrics!

The next Friday Late, on the 27th of September, showcases projects from artists and designers that have been influenced by destruction.
