Victoria and Albert museum visit


Hello again,

Last week I visited the Vitoria and Albert museum! Not to mention 2 other museums which were the Welcome collection in Euston and the Tate Modern Museum near Southwark. 

Firstly the Victoria and Albert museum, was quite interesting and also impossible to cover in one day, which is why I may need to visit back there one day soon. The most interesting exhibit I saw that day was the disobedient objects section, which portrayed pieces of art and sculptures going again what they were programmed to do. For example there was an advert playing with a barbie doll, as the voice of toys in toy shops saying they don't want to be stigmatised into being only for kids. It's quite doo cult to explain without seeing the actual clip itself but it was quite weird. I quite liked some of the Chinese works of art which included a scary ninja costume! Out visit there was short however.

Welcome Collection:
The welcome collection was out next stop in Euston. We were limited for time however still managed to get to visit 2 exhibitions. The first was very science related to technology and the human body. It showed different intricate bits of the body, and there was a giant transparent human body with very detailed body parts. Below there were buttons that would light up a certain part of the body when pressed. However the most interesting exhibit we saw was one on human feelings and some sexual imagery from the olden times along with old texts. The main stand out for me was a giant wall covered in the heights of different people. The instructions said to mark your height, name and date of birth and a social network contact so that people could be connected. Along with this there was another section that asked people to write thier near death experiences and close call situations. Deposit them in a box where an artist would paint it for all to see anomalously.

Modern Tate

The modern Tate was our last stop. We had very limited time here however got to explore a fair few bits. It was interesting in the way that the exhibits they showed different Styles of art. The connection to graphic design was quite hard to see but eventually it came to me. I will be visiting again soon so I can have an entire day to explore the museum and every single section.
