Concierge.com's insider take:
Maybe a night in a museum doesn't sound like a wild and wacky evening out, but on the last Friday of the month the Victoria & Albert does more than simply keep its doors open. Every month offers a different theme with performances, guest DJs, and a bar; one highlight is the annual July Village Fête, paying homage to a British tradition—a sort of mini state fair—but updating it, with the hippest designers and artists running the stalls. You might enjoy manicures by a top contemporary painter; eat artist-made cakes; win a "one-off" Tom Dixon chair; or try out a human arcade claw machine. Other themes coincide with the museum's major exhibitions—Cuban for the Che Guevara exhibit in June 2006, or the Surrealist Ball to coincide with a Surrealism and design exhibit in 2007, for instance.
