In London, the number of museums there are is so high with different variations such as history, art, architecture, and much more! The three biggest ones are the British Museum, the Victoria and Albert Museum, and The National Gallery. The British Museum is home to over 8 million objects earning the title of biggest museum in the world. The Victoria and Albert Museum is the largest museum of applied arts, decorative arts, and design. The National Gallery has artwork of some of the most famous artists in the world including but not limited to Monet, Bellini, and Van Gogh.
This young lady is walking her way up to the entrance of the British Museum and is out of breath. Her mouth is as open and wide as the Grand Canyon due to the size and detail of the exterior building alone. She gets inside and sees parts of the world all in this museum. For example, she entered the Greece, Parthenon, and Roman Empire areas and felt she was nerdy out to extreme amounts. She saw Centaurs, gods, and goddesses from Greek Mythology, which reminded her of her childhood when she was obsessed with Greek Mythology and shows such as Percy Jackson. Since she is majoring in Interior Design, seeing all the small details connected dots and felt as if she was finding the hidden treasure on the maps. Seeing jewelry and pottery that was older than any human or tree alive gave perspective into how small her life was, but felt so calming and fascinating that humans before her had created all this.
Colors upon colors and mixtures that her eyes had never seen before her were in this place. The National Gallery holds all these gems that the world must see! It is free to get in to see the most famous art in the world. Since the girl is obsessed with Monet, she can see the styling from her art a mile away. She finds her body taking her instantly to it ignoring everything else on the sides. There is staring upon staring and she forgets that 10 minutes have gone by and she moves throughout the museum. She finds Leonardo da Vinci’s only surviving large-scale drawing which gave her so much awe. The m
useum taking proper measures with every painting gave her so much peace since some other museums have controversy if the objects are supposed to be there. She was squinting and squinting at some of the art in the distance because it looked as if they printed out a digital photo on a much larger scale. The fact humans have learned to capture photographs through paint and were being shown for her to see made this her favorite museum to visit!
Once again, she felt as if she was visiting the entire globe all in one place at the Victoria and Albert Museum! She got to observe everything within about an hour which was great and relieving considering how much she felt she got to visit while here. The English furniture with vast influential details from other parts of the world fascinated her thinking that the merging of different ideas had led to one massive beautiful treasure. What she found random but still very interesting is that there was Frank Lloyd Wright furniture here, since he is technically in the modern era. There was also more modern stuff and a ton of pottery and porcelain, which makes this museum super unique in London! If there’s going to be any museums you’re going to visit, make sure you plan for all three of these because they are so worth the journey.
