V & A
(=Victoria and Albert Museum) 2003
Musical Instruments (above the Fashion room)
Chippendale Designs
Iron Gallery: Fireplates and 'Plaques' (English, French)
Casting Court with R. Whitbread cast of George Orwell's room at the BBC (not demolished) (the room)
'The Music Room' from Norfolk House, St. James Square, by Borra
Parlour Room from 11 Henrietta Street. - Plasterwork by Swiss-born craftsmen
Ossi Clark exhibition, in the background the Raphael rooms with a fashion show taking place. (Not particularly appropriate if you ask me).
More Ossi Clark. - The fashion room is always filled with art school girls
Main gallery, medieval sculpture (these are now in storage)
Part of the new British Galleries, this the 1810 room.
Persia Ware at the top floor.
Renaissance Horn (German) with fake (but glorious) stand (19th century)
Armour, English and German helmets etc. All in storage now.
Walkway above the Casting Courts. Has been redecorated now and filled with small sculpture. I (obviously) prefered the emptyness of this startling perspective.
Japanese Armour, 18-19th century but with older bits in it, like the helmets
Rodin
Italian and Spanish sculpture
Bauhaus chairs. This gallery is also being remodelled.
Lion and Face by Pisano
Donatello Room, with Della Robia Room in the background. This whole suite of rooms will be turned into a restaurant. Aparently asthetic nourishment is not sufficient.
The Ceramic Staircase, a bit of VA architecture that turns the museum itself into a work of art.
Chinese - the figure is 13th century, but has been completely rennovated several times since then.
Top floor again. These are Chelsea Porcelain.
