London is a bustling city, and there is adventure everywhere you turn. As much as I love being in the city, I’ve learned that I love going to the countryside. Where the air isn’t inherently filled with cigarette smoke everywhere you turn. Hampton Court Palace was exactly what I needed. I learned so much history …

Victoria, Albert, and a T-Rex
I’ve been to a lot of museums in my day, but the Victoria and Albert Museum was the first museum I actually got lost in while trying to find the exit. I underestimated the size of the museum and watched the halls all grow longer with artifacts, costumes, and paintings from all different kinds of …
The V&A / My Last Day in London 😭
Greetings, all!! Yesterday was our group outing to the Victoria and Albert Museum, and it was a great way to end our time in London (though I am still in denial about the fact that we are leaving – even though I’m on the coach out of town as I write this). Despite my sorrow …
Last Day in London! :o
Today we went to the Victoria and Albert Museum! It is a very cool Museum full of a wide array of artifacts. From Rafael paintings to Greek statues to one of Mick Jagger’s performance outfits, it was a broad selection. They are supposed to have a Theatre and the Arts exhibit, but it was currently …
Museum day \
To answer the prompt I found these Japanese theater masks in the Victoria and Albert museum and I pictured a recreation of a Long Day’s Journey Into Night. I picture them being used much like greek masks are used concealing the character while also giving a stated frame of their mind. I pictured a Japanese …
Peace Comes At Last
The Victoria and Albert Museum knew that our insane group of theatre kids (and Shawn, Courtneay, Susan, Tim and Jason) were coming, so they decided to go ahead and close down their theatre exhibit. This wasn’t the end of the world, however, because this museum has a substantial amount of art and history to pick …
A Touristy Breath of Fresh Air
Walking through Hampton Court Palace, I felt as if I was walking through the main attractions of three separate towns at once. From the entrance’s “Ye Olde Township” nature, to the decorum and luxury of the palace’s interior, to the sprawling and beautiful gardens that surrounded it all, it was a strangely all-encompassing site to …
Victoria and Albert Museum
The Victoria and Albert Museum was so amazing, and I loved looking around and seeing and learning about all the artifacts from the different time periods and places. I’ve decided to talk about two articles of clothing that I found in the fashion gallery. I know I’m only supposed to talk about one item, but …
Blue at the VA.
I thought about what I wanted to write about in this blog post, and in attempting to relate my experience to theatre I went on a scavenger hunt at the Victoria and Albert Museum. I did what the character from Bluets did in several scenes when strolling the museum. Walking through museums and art galleries, …
Who needs the theatre exhibit anyway
The answer is me^ I was really excited about it but whatever. The Victorian Albert museum was beautiful! I also just might be bias because we spent the most time in the fashion section and I am a sucker for anything “old” fashion related. The thing I am talking about was one of the dresses …
