Part Something

Sunday morning we woke up, went to church and then decided to make it a museum day. This worked out perfectly since both the Science and Natural History museums were across the street from the church building. First we went to the Science museum. Pretty cool (but I'm a nerd). We thoroughly enjoyed the exhibition on plastic...

Next we ventured to the Natural History Museum which I also loved (but again, nerd). This museum was amazing not only because of the things to see, but because of how beautiful the building was.


After the Natural History Museum, we split ways. Denise and Jason went to the British Museum and I, having been there before, decided to go to the Victoria and Albert Museum. I loved it! Lots of fashion, jewelery, and accessories. After the V&A I met up with Jason and Denise again at the National Gallery. No photos allowed at this one but here are the highlights...
van Eyck's The Arnolfini Portrait

    Oh Melanie, I would love to go back to Europe with you and we can be nerds together going to all of the museums and what not. It would be neat to see those paintings in real life, especially since I've studied them in detail in art history. Museums are amazing. That is all.

    Van Gogh is crazy. I prefer Kandinsky. But this you know. I still can't believe you skipped out on Kandinsky in Vienna in 2004. Best. Exhibit. Ever. But these are good, too ; )
