The year 2009 is a shaping up to be a busy year for the V & A, with two new permanent galleries opening - the Theatre & Performance Galleries in March and the Medieval and Renaissance Galleries in December - splashing out a whopping ?120m on the refurb. There are also two major exhibitions scheduled to take place; following the Baroque display is this lavish Maharaja exhibition, showcasing the treasures of the 18th century Mughal empire - what we now know as modern day India and Pakistan. Taking the 'maharaja' (literally 'great king') as its starting point, the exhibition displays an impressive collection of art works from the time when the maharajas ruled supreme. Beginning with the collapse of the Mughal empire in the early 18th century, these works take us up to the end of British rule in 1947. Among the rare treasures is the Clive of India Flask, a jewelled jade wine flask from the early 17th century and the greatest of the Clive of India treasures. This valuable collection was previously owned by Robert Clive, a 'heaven sent general', (according to William Pitt the Elder), who worked for the East India Company and helped secure control of India for Britain. Historically significant, it's thought that the million pound flask was seized from the Mughal treasury in 1739 by invading Persian monarch Nadir Shah.About Victoria and Albert (V & A) Museum
