London Museums

While in London January 16-21, 2006, I enjoyed all-too-brief visits to several London museums. In the past, I have enjoyed the British Museum and Museum of Garden History.

This time, I visited ...

• The Victoria and Albert Museum on Wednesday the 18th (they are normally open 10a-5:45p, but stay open until 10p [!] on Wednesdays as well as the the last Friday of each month)
  
  
• The National Portrait Gallery, where I saw the winning pictures in the 2005 Schweppes Photographic Portrait Prize.
  
  
• The British Library, where I enjoyed an exhibit Beautiful Minds about the creativity of Nobel prize winners
