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.

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.
