Victoria and Albert Museum

Today was the first day that FIE hadn't scheduled some thing for us to do.  Today was also the first day that it did not rain and that it was sunny.  So, I spent the morning figuring out when I could travel and to where as well as getting ready to go the Victoria and Albert Museum.  Since it is still in Kensington and it was a nice day I took a few detours while walking there so I could get use to walking around.

Anthony, Marie-Elena, I found dolls that are creepier thank your Mom's bride doll.

Bust of Homer.

A court yard in the middle of the museum right off of a surprisingly good cafe.

This is just the chandelier in the lobby.

I only visited the British Gallerias which covers British history from 1500-1900.  Each room was about a decade and there were tapestries, clothing, books, paintings, ceramics, and sculptures from each time.  Their aim was to tell you who was around, what was popular, what was available, and what was happening politically and economically.

Since I only saw the British Gallerias I will definitely go back, probably one day after class.  Also I would go to each a small lunch as their tea looks pretty good and all of the travel books and sites I've read recommend it.

Also, I have a question for any photographers out there.  Mainly Uncle David and Mathew, most museums have a no flash policy.  I don't know enough about my camera do to the aperture and f-stops by myself so I just switch it to the no flash setting and try to use the lighting on the exhibits to help my photos.  Any suggestions?
