Went to the Victoria & Albert Museum today, the world's biggest museum for applied arts..
Liked the Casting Room, where they made casts of famous statues or landmarks ..
Liked the art-deco section, where they displayed Mackintosh's famous fireplace
Liked the Glass Gallery, where artists made gorgeous works of art using glass. There was a spectacular staircase made of glass.
ADORED the jewellery section, where the evolution of jewellery design was shown
The Natural History Museum was just opposite the VA museum. There was a skating rink and some stalls in preparation for Xmas.
I walked in .. and scenes of Jurassic Park danced in my head
Then Night in the Museum
Then the Thomas Crowne Affair, as I went to the Earth Section and there was the Vault. Where they displayed some of the biggest and best cut gems in the world.
