We reached the museums by riding the tube. Riding the London tube is a lot like riding MAX except the trains are a LOT longer and run a **LOT** more frequently. The longest wait for a train I ever saw on one of their reader boards was 3 minutes and when Carol and I were coming back from Victoria and Albert Museum the train was really crowded so we waited for the next one and it pulled in almost before the last one exited the station.
Our first destination was the Museum of childhood. When we got there a school group was also arriving.
As befitting a museum of childhood there were lots of toys such as the vintage doll house containing this room.
isplays.
There are also interactive displays. This girl is doing a computer driven dance game. The squares under her feet provide feedback to the program.
There was also this thought provoking sign
Our next stop was the Victoria and Albert Museum or simply the V&A. The museum is connected to the nearby tube stop through a tunnel so off the tube, through the tunnel and directly into the museum. You enter through the sculpture gallery

This is far and away the largest and most comprehensive museum I’ve ever visited. We were there a few hours and didn’t hardly scratch the surface. The museum is in the shape of an open square with a wading pool in the center courtyard. This photo is of the museum from the courtyard.
