<p><font size="1">In terms of sheer variety and scale the Victoria
& Albert Museum, popularly known as the V&A on Cromwell
Road is the greatest museum of applied arts in the world. The range
of exhbits on display here means that whatever your taste there
is almost bound to be something that will grab your attention. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">The most celebrated of the V&A's many exhibits
are the Raphael Cartoons, seven large biblical paintings that served
as designs for a set of tapestries destined for the Sistine Chapel.
Close by you can view highlights of the countries largest dress
collection and the world's largest collection of Indian art outside
India. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">In addition there are galleries devoted to Chinese,
Islamic, Japanese and Korean art as well as costume jewellery, glasswear,
metalwork and photography. Wading through the huge collection of
European sculpture you come to the surreal plastercasts gallery
filled with copies of European arts greatest hits, from Michaelangelo's
David to Trajan's Column, sawn in half to make it fit. There is
even a gallery of 20th Century Objets D'art, from 20th century furniture
to Swatch watches. </font></p>
<p><font size="1">Over in the Henry Cole Wing meanwhile you will find
an entire office interior by Frank Lloyd Wright, a collection of
16th Century portrait miniatures, more Constable paintings than
the Tate and a goodly collection of sculpture by Rodin. As if this
were not enough the V&A's temporary shows are among the best
in Britain, ranging over vast areas of art, craft, design and technology.
</font></p>
<p><font size="1">Beautifully but haphazardly arranged displayed a
seven mile, four storey maze of halls and corridors the V&A's
treasures are impossible to display in a single visit. Floor plans
from the information desk can help you decide on which areas to
concentrate. If you are flagging there is Millburns Restaurant in
the basement of the Henry Cole Wing, or a more edifying cafe in
the museum's period piece Pointer, Morris and Gamble refreshment
rooms. </font></p>
