The Victoria and Albert Museum June 2017

An amazing day at the V&A https://www.vam.ac.uk/- it was a sensory overload. I spent about 5 hours there and probably saw less than 5% and took in only probably 1% of that. These photos are the culled ones – you should see the rest

First I had morning tea to celebrate Elise’s birthday but sadly without Elise but it was fun anyway.  Maitre Choux in South Kensington  http://www.maitrechoux.com/

Hot chocolate about 7/10, choux about 6/10 but the little croquette 9/10

Then across the road to the V&A and a wonderful day

 

 

Cast room – started in the 1870s they were replicas for people that couldn’t afford to travel and who wanted to study European art

The other cast hall being renovated
