Victoria & Albert Museum, Part 2

In the afternoon we visited the main part of the V&A. It is a beautiful building. This is the interior courtyard.

 

 

 

There is also an awesome cafe. It has three rooms. These are the two side rooms.

 

 

 

And this is the main room.

 

 

 

 

Embroideries can also be found here. This is a man's so-called nightcap dating from 1600-1625. Despite their name, they were worn at home during the day.

 

 

This deconstructed embroidered jacket was made in the early 17th century.

 

 

 

 

 

And this lovely glove is from 1615 to 1625.

 

 

And last but very definitely not least, is the Martha Edlin collection. She was born in 1660. She embroidered this sampler when she was 8!!!!

 

 

She finished this casket when she was 11.

 

 

 

And this beaded jewellery case when she was 13.

 

 

These pieces were finished before she was 20.

 

 

 

This one was never finished.

 

 

And this marks the end of another great trip.
