Histórico
Since its establishment at South Kensington, London, in 1907, Imperial College has fostered links with neighbouring institutions. The Great Exhibition of 1851 provided considerable impetus for the formation of educational establishments in South Kensington. Profits from the Exhibition provided the money to purchase the land to develop the area as a centre for Science and the Arts. The institutions established in South Kensington as a result of the scheme include the Victoria and Albert Museum in 1857, the Central Institution (later the City and Guilds College), which opened in 1884, the Royal College of Art, opened in 1864, Royal College of Music, Royal Geographical Society, Science Museum and Natural History Museum, which opened to the public in 1881, as well as Imperial College itself.
