| I was very fortunate to be able to buy the book that went with the Tudors, Stuarts and the Russian Tsars exhibition and the images below are photographs I have taken from this book. |
 |
| The V&A cafe is so beautiful so decorative that I could spend all day just looking at it all. |
 |
| These embroidered items were also in the exhibition. |
 |
| This is Tsar Mikhail Romanov. unknown artist. Oil on canvas. 1675 – 85 |

| This was the armoured suit made for Henry VIII which he wore in his younger days. This was the first day of the exhibition and was very busy and there was a lot to see. Again all the pictures, medals and wall hangings were hung against a dark grey background this again enhance them . The armour was displayed in glass cabinets. There was a lot of plated gold on silver vessels and plates all belonging to this era. The exhibition had very low lights on to protect all the exhibits. I found the exhibition very exciting and interesting as it covered a lot of our history and I think is an exhibition that is well worth seeing. |
