The Victoria and Albert Museum, London

  
   When in London we have stayed in a boutique hotel across from the British Museum. It is very convenient to everything. Because of that we have been in the British Museum several times. It is free to get in as are most other venues not owned by the Queen.
     An easy bus ride away is the Victoria and Albert which is very different from other places. It focuses more on art from around the world. There is a lovely central court/pond and a very good cafe. As a glass artist, I was especially taken by the giant work hanging in the front rotunda. It is a wonderful work of blown glass which I estimate to be over twenty-five feet long. It was a temporary exhibit. It is just a sample of the surprises at the V&A. You will also be amazed at the sculpture hall.
