Leonardo at the V&A

The V&A Autumn biggie opened yesterday and continues until 7 January 2007. Leonardo da Vinci: Experience, Experiment and Design brings together 60 of his drawings from British collections, including the Royal Collection. Manuscripts of his writings and models of some of his designs are also displayed. Looks interesting, but there is bad news: high admission prices (£10) grudging silver surfer concessions (£7) plus booking fees if you buy in advance (recommended by V&A) and tickets are timed! Presumably this means a large security guard will grab you by the collar and toss you out of the exit when your time is up. There's also Flash Player! I'll give this a miss.
