London offers many opportunities to be interested, touched, or inspired by the many museums in London. And many of them are totally free! Here is a guide to explore some of the best museums in London.
Chocolates are good to taste and devour any time of the year, aren’t they? If you are passionate about eating them, even making them, as well as discovering the history of chocolate and its development around the world, head to Brixton (south of London): there is a museum you HAVE to visit!
The Design Museum, originally located by the River Thames near Tower Bridge, reopened last November on High Street Kensington. It was founded in 1989 by Sir Terence Conran (the famous designer and founder of Habitat and then the Conran Shop). The Design Museum worked with the John Pawson’s team on the museum’s interior fit-out to turn it into a 21st century’s landmark. I was quite excited a few weeks ago to see the new creation of Sir Conran. And you’ll see it’s worth the visit!
I must say I am not particularly attracted by museums related to wartime. But after wandering in the Imperial War Museum for a few hours without noticing the time, I was forced to admit I enjoyed visiting this museum. And once again, this museum offers free admission, therefore you have no excuse avoiding it…
Do you know that Jimi Hendrix and Handel had many commonalities? Of course their names began with an H and they both changed music of their respective time… But there’s more. The two musicians were only separated by a wall (and of course 200 years’ gap!), as they both lived in the same building in London, on Brook Street.
The Victoria and Albert Museum, located in South Kensington, is a must-see in London. There is something for everyone: museum fans, active travelers, curious visitors, adults and children…Let me introduce you to the “world’s leading museum of art and design”.
The British Museum is definitely worth a visit for its architecture, collections, and exhibitions. It is an endless source of knowledge! Grab your coat and go to The British Museum, you’ll love it!
Who said the museums were dull ? Museums in London are incredibly well-thought for children and parents, which makes it worth to visit them. Let’s begin with the Science Museum…and a special guest!
