I've visited the V&A several times, most recently for the Dior exhibit, and it never fails. The exhibits are fabulous, and more varied than most art museums. I just love the collection of jewelry and the small exhibit on the West End. Also, the collection of famous casts is so unique. You'll never get this close to Michelangelo's David in Italy!

The holy trinity of all museums. The V&A, Natural History and the Science Museum. Not in particular order but in one place. Named after the Royal love birds and power couple of arts & culture, Queen Victoria and Prince Albert. In fact the whole area is littered with their legacy.

Just to give you an idea in a nutshell that what this beautiful building holds inside, There are sculptures, textiles, photography, paintings, jewelry, fashion, music instruments, poetry, metalwork, woodwork, furniture, books, architecture and my personal favorite, ceramic and glass section. One lifetime is not enough to see all that.…

The amazing architecture itself is worth coming. They have one of the most beautiful museum cafe in the world. Their museum shop has many jewellery choices and I always buy something here whenever I come.

It's big and it's got a lot of stuff,the best of which is the sculpture section near the main entrance. But it's confusing to navigate and not great for kids.
