Our last visited location during our trip to the UK last month was Oxford. As you saw and read in previous entries, we remained in London the rest of the time, visiting Nunhead cemetery, followed by St James's park, the V&A and Trafalgar square, with its National Gallery.
We'd learned from a friend we met with at the cemetery, that there was a Tolkien exhibit held at Oxford, and thus, after organizing, we travelled there on Friday, 12th of October, specifically to see this exhibit, but also to wander around and discover Oxford.
If you look at the National Gallery's map (official pdf) you'll see that it lists about 60 rooms and galleries, housing paintings from 1200-1930 or so. Wiki announces that it was founded in 1824 and houses 2,300 paintings in all that space.
I've been late in posting these entries, as I fell ill a few days after our return from London. I now propose photos from our Trafalgar square outing, from the 11th of October (2018).
This was our fourth outing, after Nunhead cemetry, St James Park, the V&A. Each of these yielded some photos and a lot of memories, which aren't necessarily immortalised in files, and that's okay.
Our third visited location during the London trip was the V&A, or Victoria & Albert mueseum. I love mueseums in general, and that one in particular was absolutely enjoyable to visit. Contrary to France, where I need some official documentation to visit mueseums for free, they are by definition free in London, as far as permanent collections go.
145 galleries spread over 6 levels comprise the wonderful V&A. I loved the eclectic collections and variety in representation of art and medium. We saw paintings, sculptures and fashion collections - but there are also ceramics, jewelery, glass and iron works, and a lot more!
