Today we went to the Victoria and Albert Museum! I was so glad it was connected to the tube stop, because my feet were still hurting from the HS concert the night before. Upon arrival we had to pretend we didn’t know each other again, so we went in a couple people at a time. I walked in alone and started to wonder for a while. At the beginning nothing stood out to me, and I couldn’t relate any object to what plays we saw. After being alone for like thirty minutes I found Jackson, Alex, and Madison and we went into the jewelry exhibit.
Inside the exhibit there were tons of crosses. When I saw these I got reminded of 2:22 when Jenny wanted to hang a cross above their baby’s crib and Sam refused to. It kind of looked like the one they had on stage in the kitchen cabinet. It definitely wasn’t made during the play’s time period, but the aesthetic fits with the show. The cross teaches us how religion has been around in everyones life at least one time. In the show Jenny use to be catholic and use to have multiple crosses in her home. Since being with sam she feels like she has been forced to believe in science and not God.
There were also some items relating to the concerts I’ve seen since being here. Inside the jewelry exhibit had a butterfly ring and it showed that it was apart of Beyonce’s personal collection from twenty- fourteen. Relating to her since I saw her at Tottenham Stadium back in May. Also in the fashion section, one of Harry Styles’ sweaters was apart of a display in the men’s eightys fashion. Went to Harry’s concert last night, also London is coded with One direction things. I was starstruck when I saw his sweater. I was staring at it for a good second before I realized it was his. Silly Day.
