In 2018 the Victoria and Albert Museumlaunched a capital project to transform the Museum ofChildhood from a museum of the social and material historyof childhood to a powerhouse of creativity for theyoung. This paper therefore takes the reinvention of theMoC as a case study to explore the process of changeand the key drivers for inculcating and realising the transformedmuseum. In particular, the process of co-designwith and for young people is considered as a mechanismfor change in creating future facing museums that speakto the needs of young people in a rapidly changing andcomplex world.
