Loved this place, one of my favorites!
Walked inside and saw this magnificent glass sculpture and instantly recognized the artist (toured his exhibit at the Salk Institute in San Diego this past year).
Chewy, no that doesn’t sound right.
What was his name?
Ahhh, this is gonna keep me up tonight.
Asked a museum employee. “Dale Chihuly.”
Oh, yeah, that’s it.
The V&A museum has a bit of everything, from ancient Egyptian artifacts to elaborate tapestries.
I was most intrigued with the every day items.
Beauty in the ordinary.
There were rooms and rooms of ceramics. Tea pots, cups, saucers and other pieces of china, organized by time period and style…
this set represents art deco.
While this take on ceramics has a more artistic bent!
A display of iron work – from simple candle holders…
to heavy gates and railings.
An amusing collection of tin cans,
like the Toby Jug…
and the Coronation Coach!
