A couple of recent articles are worth sharing. In the May Apollo magazine Diane Smyth poses the question 'Do photography collections in the UK need more focus?' and compares the opening of the new V&A Photography Centre with the closure of Newcastle's Side Gallery and takes in the Bodleian Libraries and changes - openings and closures - to other collections in recent years.
The Architects Journal gives a technical summary of the V&A Photography Centre which cost £3 million (base build) and £1.25 million (fit-out).
