Happy 150th, V&A

London's Victoria and Albert Museum, nowadays known as the V&A, is 150 years old today, and it's anniversary album has gone on display (CLICK). Of recent years, the V&A has been selling itself as a fashion design centre. Don't you believe it. The Museum holds everything from cast iron gates to netsuke. It's Cast Room is my favourite. Here you can find casts of Renaissance masterpieces, including Michelangelo's David and Donatello's David.
