Veronica and Albert Museum

We visited the Victoria and Albert Museum, (which is more commonly known as the VnA/V&A) today. The girls and Dad gave it a little of a whirl wind tour looking for the music exhibition that Louise had seen here years ago. They searched high and low but we did not find any musical instruments, but they did find some very interesting miniature portraits. These paintings are on broaches or items of similar size but they are very detailed portrait paintings. You needed a magnifying glass to see some of them and it is amazing how life like a painting that size can be.
