Victoria and Albert Museum


One day, Debbie with me went to Victoria and Albert Museum, due to the Jewellery exhibition. It is the first museum that I have been to in London. The decoration is quite spectacular, and the style is Art Nouveau-an art term began in 18 century, and arrived the peak between 1890 to 1910. The hall on the ground floor is decorated with lots of sculptures and ceramic tiles with plant pattern. With regard to Jewellery exhibition, it included all the art terms, such as Baroque, Art Deco, as well as Contemporary Jewellery. Over 1,000 creations are performed in this exhibition. Unfortunately, it is not allowed to take pictures.















I am interested in the Contemporary Jewellery, even some of them are not understandable. Due to the technologies, the performance of creations are variable. The most special technique is aluminum dyeing- a difficult technique to use color on aluminum.
