Review of The Foundling Museum

23 Apr 08, 17:00

The Foundling Museum 3*

The Foundling Museum tells the story of the Foundling Hospital and houses the nationally important Foundling Hospital Art Collection. The Museum presents the work of Thomas Coram, the artist William Hogarth and the composer George Frideric Handel. It also illustrates how the Foundling Hospital's charity work for children is still carried on today by Coram.

Review of The Museum Of Garden History

23 Apr 08, 16:51

Museum 2*

The Museum of Garden History is based in the deconsecrated parish church of St Mary-at-Lambeth. The church originally housed the 15th and 16th century tombs of many members of the Duke of Norfolk Howard dynasty, including now-lost memorial brasses to Thomas Howard 2nd Duke of Norfolk , his wife Agnes Tilney, and is also the burialplace of Queen Anne Boleyn's mother Elizabeth Boleyn, formerly Howard.

Review of National Army Museum

21 Apr 08, 17:25

Museum 3*

Close to the Royal Hospital, this is an antiquated museum that tells the history of the english army. The museum is simple and it shows horrors and glories. The most interesting rooms are the one about the Redcoat Age and the one the tells about the Waterloo battle between Napoleone and the Duke of Weelington. The museum's shop is really nice.

Review of Museum Of Immigration and Diversity

21 Apr 08, 14:22

Museum 2*

This is an urban residence built in the 1719. A rich family of weaver lived here before the house started to give hospitality to Polish immigrant, Irish and Jewish. Today the house hosts, exactly, a gallery dedicated to immigration and diversity. There are objects interesting for kids and adults. Unfortunatly the building is not in a good condition, in fact it's not always open so I advice to check the days when the museum is open before to go there.

Review of Museum Of London

21 Apr 08, 13:59

Museum to Relax 3*

I found this museum a resting place, good to spend a few hours on the weekend. The most recent gallery, called London Before London, deals with the Thames Vally's development. I found very interesting the carriage, the leaden coffin, the skeleton and the reconstruction of a young roman girl's face.

Review of Percival David Foundation Of Chinese Art

21 Apr 08, 13:47

Percival 3*

Even if this place could seem old and antiquated the staff is friendly and nice. The lack of crowd and the peculiarity of the collection are two good reasons to go to this museum. We don't have to undervalue that this museum has the biggest collection of Chinese ceramics.

Review of Pollocks Toy Museum

21 Apr 08, 13:37

Toy's Collection 3*

Pollock's Toy Museum has a certain appeal for adults, even if it deals with toys. There are a thousands of ancient games: board games, tin games, puppets and dolls, doll's house and waxdolls, comics and hand-built games from whole the world. I think the most interesting gallery is the little theater's collection.

Review of Bramah Tea and Coffee Museum

Have a Cup of tea 3*

In this nice and nostalgic museum you can spend a pleasant time. I don't advice to follow the guides because they explain all the tea history and it's not so interesting. It' incredible the number of utensils used to prepare tea and coffee as cups, silverware and Japanese tea bins.

Dulwich Colletction 4*

This interesting gallery contains the Collection of the Dulwich College. It inludes paintings of: raffaello, Rembrandt, Rubens, Reynolds, Gainsborough, Lely, van Dick and much more. There's a specifi area dedicated to the temporary galleries and a café. I spent about 2 hours in this museum and it was a very good time.
