Victoria and Albert Museum, London

Nice change in museums for the London scene - its not just paintings. The best part of the V&A is the Thursday late nights. The museum is open late and holds different events including lots of free ones. They can be extremely interesting and expose you to London�s variety of cultures. It�s free and fun and in London where so much closes at 6:00 p.m. you can get time in at a different type of museum.

It hurt me to see all those artifacts being destoyed

Love this museum. It offers so much of the world as the British have been everywhere and collected where they went. Quality artifacts and beautiful to see.

One of the finest exhibits in the world. They have simply everything. Loved the Egyptian and Roman wings.

I have recently visited the Victoria and Albert museum and it was great!!! Everybody enjoyed the occasion. I would reccomend it to everyone. Its definetely worth your time and money. You will experience 1800's clothing to 2004's clothing A wonderful way to spend your time adveturing through well thought out cabinets of the most beautiful dresses and suits. You may also visit the gift shop and many other displays and cabinets. See it all for yourself!!!

The British Museum is much more interesting. The last time I visited the V&A, I grew weary of rows and rows of teapots, plates, and other examples of Victorian crockery. There was, at least when I visited it, little creativity or imagination put into the exhibits. It looked as if everything had just been hastily put up on shelves without much thought.

V&A was one of my favorite museams to visit. The appeal is that the museum focuses not necessarily on the fine arts, but is extensive in that it also focuses on alternative exibits such as fashions of the past several centuries, tatoos and body piercings. For people who would like to see something different than 300 year-old paintings, this is a good museum to visit. I also enjoyed walking around the hundreds of reproduction sculptures that are housed on the first and second floors. What made the museum so appealing is that I felt very engaged with the exibits because you can get so close. There are rarely any red velvet roped-off areas extending twenty feet beyond the exibits---you can get very close.
