Inside the V&A Museum is this SPECTACULAR piece by Dale Chihuly--isn't it breathtaking?
A whole section of the V&A is devoted to iron work. I absolutely loved this modern piece that was there!
This amazing sculpture is suspended in the air in one of the domes of the V&A. It is made out of flattened brass instruments. I learned about this years ago, and to see it in person was a real treat!
The London Town Hall--a great example of Norman Foster's modern architecture.
The Gerkin Building--another Foster building.
Oh dear--I'm not sure what this building is! Isn't it beautiful though?
The Globe Theatre--Shakespear's works are still performed here on a nightly basis.
Wow, that brass instrument sculpture was really cool! Even though I had to cry a little inside to see four tubas in the mix...haha. From your pictures and description, I've decided the V&A is a place I'd like to visit! Sounded VERY neat. :)
ReplyDeleteOh my!!!! The Chihuly fixture is breathtaking for sure! I can only imagine what it looked like in person! I remember seeing one at Steelcase in Grand Rapids, and boy was it spectacular!
