Museums

In England all the Museums are free to visit. I plan to add pictures of the museums I see to this blog. So far I've only visited one of MANY Museums in London.


Victoria & Albert Museum






My friend and classmate Sasha and I went and visited the Victoria Albert Museum in London.














This is a walkway between museum buildings. It is a completely enclosed courtyard






Little girl having some fun in the water.











The rest are photos of some of the things inside the museum.





Statue of Handel the composer.









In London, they cannot forget the influence of fashion. There is an entire section of the museum devoted to fashion as far back as the 1800s.














Um okay I have no clue what this one is.








Blown glass chandelier in the entrance of the museum.



















These next two photos are a view of the restoration room. All the items being restored are kept here. The room was enormous and as you can see they have several different items like statues, paintings, furniture, etc.









This display is of old band instruments. They were all unwanted instruments no longer fit to be played. So they were smashed flat and put on display in the museum. I thought it was very creative.
