The Victoria and Albert Museum, Cromwell Rd, Kensington, is said to be the world's greatest museum of art and design.

I made another visit, but rather hurried, and the light is of course too low for deserving-quality hand-held photos -- they have a good web-site however.

Interests this time included the Europe Medieval and Renaissance (Ten contiguous galleries Level 1 and Level 2); Modern, 20th C Level 3; Islamic Middle East (Jameel) Room 42 Level 1 (ground); and the V&A/RIBA Architecture Gallery.

The Combined pair above is just as a reminder from the Medieval and Renaissance.

Extract from "More Rough Travel Notes with an Architectural Eye - 2012":

Ah ha! The V & A Museum’s open late on a Friday. You’ll know it’s the world’s largest museum of applied arts and design; 145 galleries. It would take more than a day. But, no. Better in accumulated installments I think; so let’s add a snatch more.

It began its days collecting objects from the Great Exhibition of 1851. (I’ve mentioned the early plastercasts before for instance.) Thus established the gathering of museums around Exhibition and Cromwell Roads, heart of South Kensington.

But we’ll start where we left off last time, the RIBA gallery, Level 4. (I mentioned from previous visit this architectural display, established 2004, with its hundreds of thousands of drawings and photographs.) Here’s the model of Lutyens — caricature of a character — complete with pith helmet and puffing his pipe. I guess the heat-hat implies his Indian work — shouldn’t we re-visit Delhi? When it was made capital in 1911, it was Lutyens who planned New Delhi, inaugurated 1931; think of Connaught Place circle as well as generously-designed individual buildings. Well, his picturesque English country houses, garden layouts, and influences of the time in New Zealand too, sometimes displayed nostalgic extravagance.

And here’s a model of Rietveld’s Schroeder house, Utrecht. I saw it in 1968. Architecture as graphics — like a natty bit of modern sculpture (1924), it is however, attached unrelated to the end of a dull traditional block of apartments usually unshown though vaguely suggested by shadow-line backing of this model. Very Mondrian as everyone points out. The forward-looking Dutch De Stijl movement of Van Doesberg and co had belief in a visual abstraction — rectangular, straight lines, primary colours, strictly. However, the contrast between solid, middle-class 19th C taste and the lighter, more open 20th C crisp clarity is starkly expressed. Perhaps a bit art-theory conscious, but so seminal at the time. And it’s that sharp composition that communicates well in the V & A model.

The light is of course too low for deserving-quality hand-held photos — they have a good web-site however.

A quick look at some fine-design ceramics in the Jameel (Middle-East/Persian) section,

Level 1. You may recall my photo of the Ardabil carpet from the previous visit.

Then to the new European Medieval and Renaissance section. Its ten contiguous galleries are on Levels 1 and 2. A skilled recent job by MUMA Architects — now a highlight of the

V & A, a museum within a museum but far from in the dead sense. Early Byzantine ivories, telling Romanesque sculptures, exquisite carving, a monumental arched stone screen from 1160, the essential power of the Romanesque. Works from Spain, France, Germany, Italy, especially old England. 12th C gilded foliage. And a large glass cabinet of superbly designed, crafted, and presented vestments including the Syon Cope — 1300s but with modern clarity — silk and silver thread by craft team; perfectly lit, fresh.

Then the great 13th C stained glass such as from Ste Chapelle and Winchester college. Hard to fully capture photographically, but stunning colour. 14th C tapestries and illuminated manuscripts. And there’s a whole marble chancel (1494 -1500) by Pisano transposed somehow from Santa Chiara Florence. (Combined photo.)

Upstairs we find a gallery devoted to Donatello sculptures — evolving sophistication in alive and expressive aesthetic art. Late Gothic, early Renaissance, naturalism of Rosselino. And a gallery “The Renaissance City”. Some of the most famous treasures in such well-presented collection to experience. The whole project was designed by MUMA in collaboration with the V & A.

And there’s the Arts and Crafts Morris Room restaurant with Pre-Raphaelite panels. And the Complete Frank Lloyd Wright room. More time — visit layer by layer.

En venant des Daules par le sentier douanier, vous aurez longé la Pointe du Nid pour aboutir dans le pays de Saint-Coulomb. Voilà encore un de ces villages (un de plus !) fondé par un moine, Colomban, qui débarqua d'Irlande en l'an 580 et fondit ici une petite paroisse.

L'anse Du Guesclin que borde un superbe croissant de sable blond, la plage du même nom, est un des fleurons naturels de la petite cité. Les dunes qui l'abritent, au Sud, sont une terre de prédilection pour le panicaut maritime particulièrement abondant à cet endroit.

A l'Est de la plage, le fort Du Guesclin construit sur les vestiges d'une ancienne forteresse, s'isole sur son île dès que la marée monte. Son origine est fort ancienne et vient du nom du constructeur du premier édifice : Bertrand Du Guesclin, aïeul du chef de guerre qui portait le même nom. La première forteresse, édifiée en 1160 et occupée par la famille pendant 3 générations, changea de propriétaire en août 1234 où le roi Louis l'attribua à Henry d'Avaugour. La famille Du Guesclin s'installa au château du Plessis-Bertrand, dans les terres de Saint-Coulomb, dont la construction s'étala de 1247 à 1259. La forteresse édifiée à l'origine sur l'île se dégrada au cours des ans pour finir par être démantelée puis rasée. Sur la base des systèmes défensifs dessinés par Vauban, encore lui, le fort actuel fut construit en 1758 afin de défendre la côte contre les attaques anglaises. Il est démilitarisé depuis bien longtemps et désormais occupé par de paisibles résidents.
