Dad was off to work today. The kids and I hit the ground running and drove into London. Our first stop was the Victoria & Albert Museum, which is devoted to art and design. In some ways it was a regular art and artifact museum (with paintings, sculptures and other physical art works), but its organization and presentation was meant to impart how artifacts were utilized and enjoyed in everyday life. It is a huge museum!

16th century door
Henry VIII portrait
Henry VIII's writing and document box
Cast hall - all of these artifacts
are casts of the originals. The gallery includes
a full-size cast of the statue of David.
