On Sunday, I went to the V&A (Victoria and Albert) to see a special exhibition they have on - Magnificance of the Tsars. It was really cool, I even saw the coronation robe of Nicholas II. I've been to the V&A several times but thought I would take a few pictures- not allowed in the Tsars though.
Fountain in the courtyard- still a but chilly but several kids were playing in it.
Detail of the building
Painting of Victoria and Albert opening the Great Exhibition- the children are Vicky and Bertie
An example of some tiles from the Middle East
A cast model of the effigy of Eleanor of Aquataine- she's buried in France
One of the cast courts- most were actually made in the 1600 and 1700s
The other cast court- currently undergoing restoration- kind of cool to see the exhibits all boxed up, etc.
