Source of inspiration university maiden found in the V&A? (6)
I believe the answer is:
museum
'the va?' is the definition.
(the Victoria & Albert Museum is a museum)
'source of inspiration university maiden' is the wordplay.
'source of inspiration' becomes 'muse' (I've seen this in another clue).
'university' becomes 'u' (abbreviation for university).
'maiden' becomes 'm' (cricket abbreviation).
'muse'+'u'+'m'='MUSEUM'
'found in' is the link.
(Other definitions for museum that I've seen before include "building of historical importance" , "Eg, Horniman or Ashmolean" , "Place for exhibits of special interest" , "Store of historical artefacts" , "Building to display objects of historical interest" .)
