debris4spikeHowever many times I go to London I inevitably find my way to the V&A, even if only for an hour ... just somewhere that I love. I also try to go to another museum as well, and this time it was my favourite from childhood, the Science Museum.
As I was only at both for a shortish time there are only a few images, however I haven't posted them all, so if you want to see a few more, then click on any photo and it will take you to the Photobucket links.
I thought it would be nice to bring home a souveneir ... so this seemed a good choice!!
These structures are truly stunning - I think you could spend a whole visit in this one gallery alone.
Close-up on the pillar
Even the building is lovely
When I was a kid I loved Origami ... this dress is inspired by that art
Sad that ivory was used - but truly stunning work
The Rocket
As I said in an earlier post, Dad was in London during the war, and sadly lost a few friends to the V2
In the medical area there are loads of tableaux of treatments of the time ... this Victorian gentleman was resting with gout
Not quite a super-jet
I travelled by coach ... a bit more modern than this!
