What they say: V&A South Kensington is the world’s greatest museum of art and design, with collections unrivaled in their scope and diversity. Discover 3000 years’ worth of amazing artifacts from many of the world’s richest cultures including ceramics, furniture, fashion, glass, jewelery, metalwork, photographs, sculpture, textiles and paintings.
What I say: Simply, you can spend 20 minutes or whole days in this museum, there is so much to see, to learn, to snap at! Each corner reveals something new and usually unexpected – a giant pill, a statue about to impale you on it’s trident, a chair made of silver, a recreated edwardian dining room, swords from Japan, silk from China, furniture from Sweden. Examples of the best art from the best makers from around the world.
I walk around the museum with eyes like dinner plates, trying to cram everything in, not wanting to miss anything, knowing full well that to try to even glance at everything is impossible as there is just too many amazing objects. Photo moments fly at you with every step.
The ever changing, always interesting museum keeps me going back, as I know I will find something new each and every time! Oh yeah, & it’s FREE to get in!!!!!!!
