Today we had the pleasure of visiting The Victoria and Albert Museum. My mother told it was a great Museum and of course it was free so it was a given! Unfortunately, we informed that this the second year in a row where the theatre section of the theater was blocked off. What a bummer. I have no idea what the theater section would’ve had to offer but I’m sure it would’ve been very cool. It didn’t ruin the experience at the end of the day. We saw some of the history of fashion which I found super neat.
This is an example of mens wardrobe from 1840-1860. According to the Museum, as women’s dress became more elaborate, mens dress became duller and more plain. Although if a man wanted to show his fashionable side, he could wear a brightly patterned waistcoat. Personally, I’m not too sure if I’d be able to pull this off but I think I’d like to try it on one day. M
After we checked out some of the other exhibits, we learned about the Natural History Museum. I wondered if it would be another museum with old artifacts but then I learned a very important fact. There were dinosaurs. My ears perked when I heard this and I knew exactly what we needed to do. I rallied a group together as soon as I could so that we could go and it was so worth. It was my favorite Museum that we’ve visited yet as a matter of fact. I’m a sucker for prehistoric animals, especially when they’re upwards of 10 feet tall. It fascinates me like nothing else. My childhood memory kicked in and I begin imagined what the “Land Before Time” was like. Not only did they have dinos, but they also have prehistoric fossils of the first ever human beings which was amazing to learn about.
