The V&A

One of the closest museums to our flat here in Kensington is the Victoria and Albert Museum, known to locals and in the know tourists (like us) simply as the V&A. We saw one of the hottest exhibits in town, Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, which was a huge retrospective of his career. The exhibit had an incredibly vast array of his works, I enjoyed the "Cabinet of Curiosities" room of the exhibit, which had some of his most famous catwalk outfits and sets, with corresponding videos.

However, we weren't allowed to take photos inside the exhibit, so I've attached a couple of other pictures from other parts of the museum that also had beautiful signage and design.

When you enter the museum, you're greeted with this sign. 

A very interesting exhibit looking at what luxury is, and what artists believe it might become.

I didn't have time to make it into this exhibit, but it looked very interesting!
