On Point: Royal Academy of Dance at 100
The On Point display is now on until 1 May 2022 at the V&A Museum in London.

The RAD is home to one of the largest dance collections in Europe, and this is the first time in its history it has given access to its archive on this scale.
Where to find the display
The display is situated in rooms 103 – 106, Theatre & Performance.
