The V&A may have been my favorite attraction in London, much to my own surprise. I expected an interesting, varied collection, but I had no notion of how engaging this collection would be. I loved this museum from my first few moments inside. Each piece- be it an iron railing, a salt shaker, a 17th century gown, you name it-... more

This was a really interesting place. Although it is a museum of art and design, and I've been to plenty of those, I'm not sure that I've ever really been to something similar. It is such a huge museum that it would take ages to get through all the exhibits. I pretty much had a whole day so was only... more

One could spend days in the V&A there is so much to see-ceramics, fashion, tapestry, metalwork, plaster casts of architectural monuments, glass, furniture... it is impossible to list it all . A multitude of exhibits from their collection with works from all ages (ancient - contemporary)and parts of the globe - the new jewelry wing is beautiful. The spectacularly tiled... more

The V&A is great. Not only in dimensions - but as far as what you can see and explore. Art, objects, furniture from all sorts of places and periods. It is also partially a hands-on museum, which will especially appeal to kids (e.g. try on some costumes, create your own coat of arms etc.)), so do not miss the British... more

Wow! You can't easily describe V&A museum, you really have to visit it to believe the amazing rich of collections that are to be found there! There are so many different forms of arts there, and from so many different eras and areas of the world, that someone may need months to explore even a small part of the collections!... more

As a Londoner presently wintering in Arizona wanted to share a real oasis we discovered in the V&A just before leaving for the States. A recently re-opened and restored area which were the original dining rooms when the Museum first opened. Three beautifully restored rooms which form part of the Level 1 Cafe area available for dining. The selection of... more

A fantastic museum, a brilliant blend of art, design and museum displays. A feast for the eyes at every corner, the best museum I have seen. more

Many years ago, when these London museums had admission charges I used to rush in after 4:00 pm for quick peek when they were free for an hour before closing. Ah those penny pinching days!!! Now there is no excuse not to visit a museum that seems to have the largest collection of diverse exhibits in the world. From the... more

The Victoria and Albert Museum, South Kensington has arguably the most comprehensive collection of 'fine-arts ' artefacts in the World. (Admission is free with a donation requested) Until 7 th. Jan 2007 it hosts an exhibition entitled 'At Home in Renaissance Italy' (modest admission charge) Partly due to the simple but dramatic presentation of articles lent by museums throughout the... more
