Of all amazing and FREE museums in London, the V & A is perhaps my favourite.
So massive!
11 acres, 145 galleries, 7 miles of exhibits and 5 million objects.
It’s not easy to see David in Florence — but you can study an exact replica any time, any day in London. Free. No crowding.
In fact, this space at the V & A called the Cast Courts is perhaps the best. You’ll quickly be diverted from David to other astonishing replicas in those 2 galleries.

Another of my favourite exhibits is Tippu’s Tiger.
The ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore in India had made a carved and painted wood casing representing a tiger savaging a near life-size European man. It moves and makes music.
