V&A Museum entrance

Today I really wanted to go to the new Darwin Centre at the Natural History Museum in London. After trekking down to Cromwell Road in the morning, we got to the museum to find a huge queue - something I'd never seen at the Natural History Museum before. Discussing our options over coffee, we decided that, since the Darwin Centre was a new permanent exhibition, we'd come back another time, and take a visit to one of the museums I'd not been to before: the Victorian and Albert museum just down the road.

If I'm entirely honest I was not expecting it to really be my kind of thing, but I was pleasantly surprised; from weird staircases through to old locks, and fine statues, it's an extraordinarily eclectic mix. This photo was taken from a balcony over-looking the entrance. I wanted to capture the organised chaos that is the front of any museum. At 1.3", using the balcony to steady the camera, I was pleased with the result. (There's a larger version of this here)
