London / Victoria & Albert Museum

After the walk through Holland Park, we headed over to a nearby art museum, the Victoria & Albert Museum. One of the great bonus's of England is that most of their museums are free, so there's really very little excuse for not going to one!

The museum housed mostly older, classic art, but there were still a couple of cool newer pieces, like these lights "pouring" in through the ceiling.

This room was pretty incredible. Those pillars were absolutely immense, the largest easily over 120 feet tall with a spiraling sculptures around it.

...as well as some real medieval suits of armor. Interestingly, the REAL suits that were used are actually quite flexible and didn't hinder the soldier's movements, countering how hollywood often depicts them.
