The 9 Best Museums in Victoria, England
The crown jewels, Buckingham Palace, Camden Market…in London, history collides with art, fashion, food, and good British ale. A perfect day is different for everyone: culture aficionados shouldn't miss the Tate Modern and the Royal Opera House. If you love fashion, Oxford Street has shopping galore. For foodies, cream tea at Harrod’s or crispy fish from a proper chippy offers classic London flavor. Music and book buffs will love seeing Abbey Road and the Sherlock Holmes Museum (at 221B Baker Street, of course).

Wonderful art gallery, so much to see. Particular favourites are Stanley Spencer’s Resurrection at Cookham and Pre-Raphaelite/Victorians. Dates in the floor in each room mean you can walk through the timeline of art history and there’s usually a modern art exhibition going on there too. A real treat to visit here!

We have been studying Tutankhamun for ages, and have been to Cairo to see the death mask. I was blown away by just how many quality items are on display at the Saatchi Gallery, and so well displayed. Do not expect the most valuable items to be here (death mask, solid gold coffin ect) they are far too valuable to leave Egypt; that said we were really glad we ventured all the way to London for the exhibits. Get there as early as you can to avoid the worst of the crowds, just as it opens is best. However the prices in the shop are a joke.

The Queen's Gallery hosts a programme of changing exhibitions from the Royal Collection.

The Royal Collection has an amazing collection of art from over the centuries, despite the Civil War in the 17th century when Charles I lost his head and much of the collection was then sold off. The Queen's Galleries in London and Edinburgh create excellent themed exhibitions around different aspects of the collection, the last being on Leonardo di Vinci's amazing intricate drawings which has now moved from London to Edinburgh. The 19th century kings before Queen Victoria were a funny lot, living in their own world King George IV has a mixed reputation. With a variety of mistresses, several illegitimate children and huge debts, he was also a collector and patron of the arts and of architecture, enhancing the Royal art collection by buying works by a variety of artists including Rubens, Rembrandt and the Scottish artist David Wilkie, along with major remodelling of Buckingham Palace and Windsor Castle and creation of the unique Pavilion in Brighton. The exhibition at the Queen's Gallery tells the story of George IV - his life, his interests, his art collection and his architectural achievements. There is more however - he was instrumental in the foundation of one of our great universities, King's College London.
