The Victoria and Albert Museum - it's a day out in itself.

Whether you want to look at the displays, or want to pay to see one of their exhibitions, the V & A is a wonderful place to visit.
The Cult of Beauty Exhibition is wonderful. It runs until the 17th of July.
I would recommend buying the 20 postcards on exceptionally good quality card for £7.50 as a reminder of the exhibition.

 The image used here is 'Pavonia' by Frederic Leighton.

 This is 'Charger' by William De Morgan, a beautiful plate

After the rigours of viewing and reading information about the exhibits, it's good to go outside and have a break from it all. The outside of the building is as good as inside.
