What gets half the number of visitors as the British Museum and has a collection that's twice as weird? #travelsky #overtourism #victoriaandalbertmuseum #londonmuseums #visitbritain
The V&A Museum
The V&A, formerly the Victoria and Albert museum, is often called Britain's attic and the world's most exciting scavenger hunt.

In a fascinating sidenote, the #VictoriaandAlbertMuseum has a catalog from the Worth archives of garments from 1899 to the 1920s. This coat was photographed and preserved in this album. #fashionhistory #ootd #PalaisGalliera

Victoria and Albert Museum's new space gives the public a rare look at little-seen history

In the summer of 1987 I played my cassette of #FLM on a loop so it was back to the 80s on Thursday night with #KimAppleby of #MelAndKim in conversation at #victoriaandalbertmuseum. So many fabulous stories to tell about #1980s music, fashion, photography....and those dance routines! 🎶 🎵 🎤🕺👏

鶴屋内 大淀 (The Courtesan Oyodo of the Tsuruya Brothel) by 鳥居清峰 / Torii Kiyomine (Japanese) - Woodblock print (nishiki-e / 錦絵) on paper / 1813 - Victoria and Albert Museum (London, UK) #WomenInArt #浮世絵 #art #artText #artwork #鳥居清峰 #ToriiKiyomine #Nishikie #錦絵 #JapaneseArt #VandA #VictoriaAndAlbertMuseum
Ōyodo (大淀) was a celebrated high-ranking courtesan (花魁) at the Tsuruya (鶴屋, “House of Cranes”) in Edo-period Yoshiwara (吉原). Like many elite courtesans, “Ōyodo” is a stage-name; personal biographies were deliberately veiled, and prints fashioned a public identity in which learning, taste, and wit were as marketable as beauty. Japanese artist Torii Kiyomine (鳥居清峰), an accomplished Torii-school designer known for elegant bijin-ga (美人画), casts her with brush and poem to signal education and cultured companionship. The seated courtesan with light beige skin is framed in a circular roundel, turned as if pausing mid-thought. Her high black hair coiffure bristles with combs and hairpins (kanzashi 簪) while a layered pink, black, and white kimono (着物) pool in soft folds, the outer robe patterned with cranes (tsuru 鶴) that glide across blue-green and russet silks. In her right hand, she holds a slender writing brush as she writes on a poem scroll that she holds with her left hand and extends across her lap. At the margin, a small cartouche with calligraphy echoes her act of writing. Tatami (畳) texture and a folding screen suggest a refined interior. Fine linework and gently graded color imply a subtle mica sheen, heightening the fabrics’ luminous surface. The crane motif puns on Tsuruya’s name and invokes auspicious grace, while the circular frame concentrates attention like a stage spotlight, nodding to the Torii lineage in theater imagery. Made in 1813, during a flourishing urban print culture, the design turns a quiet moment of composition into an emblem of social refinement, where literacy, performance, and fashion intertwined to elevate the courtesan’s status as an arbiter of taste and a muse of poetic sophistication.

❤️ #marieantoinettestyle at #victoriaandalbertmuseum . Stunning. And sad. Coincidentally I listened to a podcast about her the other day, which debunks a lot of “truths” about her. Go if you get the chance. #london #marieantoinette #frenchrevolution

OK #WitchSky, #OccultSky and #TarotSky, this is a real visual treat. So the #VictoriaAndAlbertMuseum is known for its eclectic collections, and this short overview of some of the #TarotCards they hold is pretty darn good. Fifteen minutes well spent for sure.

Londoners love a hidden venue. The #VictoriaAndAlbertMuseum has done a great job hiding their Members Coffee Lounge in the Glass Gallery, behind a wall of mirrors. Sign admittedly is a giveaway, but still have to get close to see it - as I found yesterday. #LetsGuide #UniquelyLondon #ALondonersLife3

Top lett, the closed book showing a brown leather spine and marbled paper. Top right, an open page with blue painted U. Bottom, the book edge, with "Ruralia" inked on the edge. Four coloured book spines titled "Siberia in Asia" and "Siberia in Europe". Spines left to right are brown, orange, tan, blue. A closely cropped image of three stacked books. The lower two have marbled edges of blue, yellow, pink, and white.
