Relaxing in museum, a photo from London, England

Photographer's Note

In London, my main goal was to see the museums. I have seen 13 of them. Some were fascinating, some disappointing.
After Wikipedia:
The Victoria and Albert Museum in London is the world's largest museum of applied arts, decorative arts, and design, housing a permanent collection of over 2.27 million objects. ( wow, I haven't seen all of them :). It was founded in 1852 and named after Queen Victoria and Prince Albert.

The V&A is located in the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea, in an area known as "Albertopolis" because of its association with Prince Albert, the Albert Memorial and the major cultural institutions with which he was associated. These include the Natural History Museum, the Science Museum, the Royal Albert Hall and Imperial College London. As with other national British museums, entrance is free.
Its collection spans 5000 years of art, from ancient times to the present day, from the cultures of Europe, North America, Asia and North Africa. However, the art of antiquity in most areas is not collected. The holdings of ceramics, glass, textiles, costumes, silver, ironwork, jewellery, furniture, medieval objects, sculpture, prints and printmaking, drawings and photographs are among the largest and most comprehensive in the world.

I like the museum very much. And after seeing so many exhibits, one deserves some relaxing. It was the perfect place for it. Even I spent some time near this pond. Imagine that I start to show the exhibits! No worries :).

Two similar pictures in Workshops.

Hello Malgo,
There are still lots of museum in London I need to visit as well and the V&A is one of them. A great view of the courtyard where lots of people had gathered around the round fountain to enjoy the fine weather. The red architecture all around is very appealing as well.

Hello Malgo,
It's nice to hear that you allowed yourself some time to relax by this pond filled with red water. ;-) The reflections are good and the atmosphere is pleasant. Both WS are also nice. I didn't see the V&A until 2000, even though I had been to London several times before that. I have still to see Tate Modern, which is on the "wrong" side of the river. But will I ever return to London?
Kind regards,
Gert

Hi Malgo,

You have captured well the persons relaxing around the pound. The point of view is showing the details of the building. The light is giving good colors output. Have a nice day.

Hello Malgo, I have been to the V and A more than once, but cannot recall the area that you have shared with us today.
Three excellent shots. The building is very distinctive, built of red brick.
Lovely to see all the people sitting and enjoying this space.
Kind regards, Jean.

Ciao Malgo,i don't really like museums, this was a short walk from my hotel but i never went in during my old london week. So again your post is very helpful, people seem to have found a relaxing place too, the 3 views are of excellent quality. Have a nice evening and thanks,Luciano

I don't remember this area. I liked a lot this museum and there are so many things to see, the worst pieces are masterpieces by themselves if were in a small museum.

take care

Po ostatnim poscie i zalaczonej mapce pomyslalem... 70 rzezb mozna obejrzec i obfotografowac. wiec nie rozumiem jak nie dalas rady obejrzec wszystkich eksponat. Tak na szybko gdyby stu trekersow wrzucalo codziennie foty tych przedmiotow to juz po 63 latach mielibysmy komplet eksponatow na TE :)
Tak... odpoczynek po kazdym muzeum jest wskazany
pozdrawiam
Piotr

A beautiful view of the courtyard of this museum. Good combination with the visitor. Clarity and lighting done well. I like workshop pictures. Thanks for sharing

Hi Malgo,

A nice colourful photo with a relaxing feel to it. The pool has good reflections, and its colour matches well the colour of the brick buildings around it. Good composition and sharpness.

Hi Malgo.
What a wonderful museum is the Victoria and Alberto, this is a curious scene of the patio with all those people sitting around the pond that always relaxes, I suppose it was a good temperature to take a little sun.
Magnificent image, with good lighting, color and sharpness.
Good work. I like it
Enjoy a happy day.
Very best regards.
Luis.

A bright day and londoners obligate to sit under the sun, Malgo.
Nicely captured with full view of the rotunda in the museum.
Vivid and enliven outcome, cheers,
Ike

Hi Malgo

Luckily these people were in London and not Venice or the 'seating' police would have ask all of them to move to an al fresco restaurant or face a fine. The circular fountain nicely leads the eye all around the museum courtyard. Tfs!

Hello Malgo,
The museum itself is beautiful, with its arched windows and red color. Together with the water, bushes, and people, this is a very colorful and lively scene. The three people in the foreground are a nice focal point, too. Take care!
