If, at any point, you are considering an exhibition to see in London between now and the beginning of next year, you must go to see the installation Tomorrow at the Victoria and Albert Museum.

The V&A is my favourite museum. Containing items of design, architecture, sculpture, costume and furniture from around the world, I love visiting it regularly, looking for new areas: I try only a couple of rooms at a time; any more would be too much beauty to take in.

On one such visit, I saw a number of small hoardings, pointing out that “Tomorrow” was taking place in a certain area of the museum: “Tomorrow?” I wondered, “What could that be?” Off I went to find out.

It was an installation, by Scandinavian artist duo Michael Elmgreen and Ingar Dragset, and was spread over several of the V&A former textile galleries. The artists, using various objects from the museum’s wide collection, transformed the galleries into an elaborate South Kensington apartment. Therein, they told a story.

How? By making this apartment belong to a fictional architect called Norman Swann, looking back in anger on his life. Visitors to the exhibition, with the use of a screenplay picked up at the entrance, could walk through this apartment reading scenes set in the dining area, bedroom, kitchen and study. One would walk through the exhibition making a film about Mr. Swann in one’s own head. The effect was mesmerising.

    

One isn’t allowed to take photographs in the exhibition and that’s fine: having photos taken while one walks through this installation would be incredibly disturbing. (The photos included here are scanned from the screenplay that you pick up at the start of the installation.) Also I don’t think that one needs to: the exhibits, the screenplay, actors therein and one’s own imagination makes Tomorrow completely memorable.

Along with the Dalston House and the Sultan’s Elephant, I must admit that I’m a big fan of art installations. I wonder what else is or will be out there to experience?
