I walked the length and breadth of the museum, to find the room with the painting I wanted to see. . .
.
I sat in front of the painting and admired it and thought about day dreaming; to get to the room with the painting, I had to walk thru a hall of sculpture. . .
before walking thru the scultpure hall, I walked thru a gallery of glass, both very very old and quite modern pieces. . .
the museum is full of beautifully appointed rooms, galleries and halls, each themselves filled with objects of beauty; and - as importantly - it also has a rather fab coffee shop, in which I had a lovely break; and - similarly important - a rather wonderful gift shop. . .
seeing as the V&A is famous for its collection of various books. . .

HENRI MATISSE, 'Jazz', Paris, Teriade, about 1947
binding by PAUL BONET, 1952
and examples of lettering. . .
'Concerning the Honour of Bookes'
MC OLIVER
(1950)
. . .I bought this:
from which this is a page. . . and this is another. . .
(and on the way around, I listened to this) (and while we're doing alphabets and graphics and all manner of colourful things and all together now, let's do this)

I like the statue of the naked lady drummer. I know she's a drummer because she's holding drumsticks in her right hand.
we would not have been all together...I would have never made it out of the gallery of glass....
okay...maybe after a few hours I could have been coaxed into looking at something else...maybe.
drumsticks? surely not!
Wow...drumsticks?!
