Antiques & Museums & Victoria And Albert And Me!
Then, by chance, I wonder into a room full of musical instruments. Names I've never heard of and can't remember, but again what does it matter. What really matters is that at a date in the past, somebody sat for weeks, maybe months or even years to fashion a lute, a spinet, a harpsichord and it's there for me to marvel at. Consider the attention to the detail given to the back of a guitar that when played wont even be seen!
Words are inadequate to describe the treasures on display at the V & A. Sufficient to say that every staircase, every ceiling and column of the building itself deserves appreciation. The contents of each cabinet are breathtaking and beautifully displayed with informative notes.
I could carry on as I did on that Monday when I returned with aching feet and a bursting soul, but take a day off and find time to visit a museum. They're all around the country and deserve our support.
