Next, we will marvel at works by Raphael before visiting the fashion collection and then onto the European Sculpture Hall to admire Rodin’s bronzes and the Three Graces.

We’ll peak into the William Morris-designed cafe before taking in some Buddhist art from Nepal. Then, we will journey through the epic cast hall to see pieces like Michelangelo's David, before finishing in the Medieval galleries.

    Back in the early ‘70’s, I rented a small flat a short walk from the V&A, and on the weekends my favourite thing ( I was single and had hardly any money over after I paid my rent) was to visit the museum. It had a basic cafe back then, but tea and a sandwich was a cheap meal and it was never very crowded. I explored every nook and cranny, and there were lots of galleries that were hardly ever visited, the things that were fascinating to Victorians were a bit dull to ‘70’s folk. I had no idea that a few short years later, I would be employed to photograph the entire “British National WatercolourCollection”, over 9000 paintings and drawings, and a major global art treasure. It took me 6 months, with a small team and was one of my most enjoyable experiences as a photographer.

    Mary Queen of Scots was never imprisoned in the Tower , it was various castles and big houses including Fotheringay !

    What a beautiful place to be. It has been so long since I have been to a museum. V & A museum is stunning, breathtaking. What a treat.

    Hello Jessica! Rob from Maple Bay, Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Thanks for the fascinating tour. We've walked past but never taken the time to enter. Now it's on my list for one of our future trips to London. Cheers!

    This was really great Thanks. Just around the corner on Queens Gate is a little school called Duff Miller where Tom Hardy went ......and me, the most uninteresting person in the world.

    more then 40 years ago I worked as a security Guard at the DeYoung museum in San Francisco and they had an exhibit from the Vatican and one of the statues was David among other wonderful things from the Vatican. I really enjoyed seeing David
