There’s just something about a day at the museum in a new country that really makes you feel like you’ve soaked up some of its true history and glory. You leave feeling more connected to the people, with a better understanding of who they are and how we can relate on one universally beautiful thing: art. Art comes in all cultures and is such a window into the soul of the people. Here’s some pics from our few hours at the Victoria and Albert Museum (or called the V&A for short) .

We had the best tour guide and new friend, Mr. Ed H! Thanks Ed for the lovely day. |

Love the ornate gothic look.

Where Coachella kids got their style. |
