The Victoria and Albert Museum

The V and A is enormous and filled with just about everything from ancient Egyptian artefacts to the finest examples of contemporary art and furniture.




"Museums smell"



A couple of pics from the lovely area of town that the museum is in.




I could barely get past the foyer it was so beautiful.





I could definitely find a place for any of the amazing pieces of contemporary furniture in our home.





The gallery with the statues of Rodin knocked my socks off. They are so beautiful depicting amazing scenes from history and mythology.





There are two immense rooms containing massive plaster casts of carvings from all over the world.



There was a large gallery of ancient musical instruments. The carvings were very intricate and beautiful.
