Traffic cones anyone?

I had a bit of spare time in west London this morning so I dropped into the superb 'Travel Photographer of the Year' exhibition at the Royal Geographical Society. I liked the way they'd combined historic photographs (including one of my photographic hero - Frank Hurley) with modern day images. Walking down to the tube at Knightsbridge I passed the V&A with, to my mind anyway, a bizarre addition to the front entrance - an enormous set of silver and white traffic cones hanging upside down like some huge toothbrush. I don't think V or A would be amused.
