My group visited V&A museum last week. There are many exhibition halls in here. I sew the jewellery hall, south Africa hall and Japanese hall. We met that V&A museum celebrate the 200th anniversary Queen Victoria &prince Albert’s, so the museum displayed Queen Victoria’s stunning sapphire and diamond coronet. I feel that is sumptuous, because the coronet be covered a large number of diamonds and huge sapphire. I researched the coronet by google when I come back home. I found out there is a fascinating story behand the jewellery. The sapphire and diamond coronet was designed by Victoria’s husband. So I think that the coronet is a symbol of the love of Victoria and Albert.
I sew the second exhibition is Seibu Railways’ Manner posters. I appreciated the posters depict traditional Japanese edo-like manga in modern day situation of subway. I think that the combination of tradition and modern is more interesting and rich. Those posters show some Japanese who wear the traditional clothes to do some impolite behaviors. For example, one person occupies more space and several persons are talking loudly in the carriage. I feel that the posters point out the disturbing behaviors of contemporary passengers for other passengers.
nice day!
