V&A

yesterday was work (the best kind of work mind you) with visits to the jewish museum and the british museum. (the shows at both venues look wonderful.)

today i'd set aside for play. on my first visit to London in 1991 i spent much time at the Victoria & Albert Museum (deemed "the world's greatest museum of art and design"). i fell hard. i'd decided i wanted to work in a museum, and this was it. strangely, i haven't been back since then. (the national gallery, and national portrait gallery, and the royal academy are my regular London stops - and I'll be visiting them tomorrow.) today was for the V&A (and a pop down to Harrod's for some souvenirs to take home).

maybe its the grey, but i haven't been taking too many pictures this trip. and those i am taking are mostly on instagram.

aside from the permanent collection which is just as great as i remember (e would flip over the fashion/costumes on view), they had a really great david bowie show. completely theatrical and over-the-top, as it should be.

scheming how to get us all here. soon.
