The travels of Brammers, part 4a

The new Mediaeval galleries at the Victoria and Albert have broken my brain. I didn't even make it to the Renaissance. After three hours I was only 1/4 of the way through and had artefact overload. It is brilliant and beautifully presented and with SO MANY THINGS, and then wonderful things to actually DO for school children. I may have to write a nice letter to the curators. Just ... mindblowing ... Photos later, after I have made my way to Brixton. If not heard from again, the preceding sentence should explain my fate.

Oh, and yes, this does mean that I failed to hang out with Darwin today. Tomorrow! Or possibly Thursday ...

The new galleries are just spectacular, but they have that cathedral thing where your brain at some point stops being able to process individual items and just says 'So much cool stuff!!'
