LoMAZ Extra: The V&A Collection Highlights Trail
Details
This Sunday event is in the large and well known V&A Museum in South Kensington. It has now been nearly five years since I started LoMAZ and it would be lovely if you can make it for an alternative Father's Day museum get-together!
About
The Victoria and Albert Museum (often abbreviated as the V&A) in London is the world's largest museum of applied arts, decorative arts and design. It was founded in 1852 and named after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.
The museum is huge, so we will be following the 10 objects in the V&A Collection Trail, which includes sculpture, costumes, a painting, furniture, a carpet and a hungry tiger!
