๐Ÿ“Must-Visit Museums in London | Time-Saving Highlights You Canโ€™t Miss!

#traveldiaries ๐Ÿ’Ž V&A Museum: 3h As someone whoโ€™s visited the V&A three times, Iโ€™m qualified to recommend it! Hereโ€™s why: Stunning Aesthetics: From the entrance, the colors, to the garden, every corner is Instagram-worthy! Perfect for photo lovers and those who enjoy buying museum merch. Sculpture Hall is a Must-See: The Cast Court on the ground floor โ€“ even though theyโ€™re replicas, the proportions are so grand that the giant David statue feels like a god descending! Youโ€™ll definitely have a โ€œwowโ€ moment. Jewelry Room is Pure Magic: The second floorโ€™s jewelry section will stop you in your tracks. Sapphires and emeralds twinkle like the universe is winking at you! โœจ Diverse Special Exhibits: From home designs during design week to backstage videos from 200 years of performing arts (including behind-the-scenes looks at wigs from The Crown), itโ€™s definitely worth checking out. Tip: You can skip the non-European section on the first floor if youโ€™re short on time and focus on the highlights! ๐Ÿ’Ž British Museum: 3h Hereโ€™s how to get the most out of it: Must-see sections on the ground floor: China, Asia, and Egypt โ€“ absolute treasures! The European section feels a bit flat in comparison, more focused on historical knowledge. You can skip most of the second floor if you're short on time. ๐Ÿ’Ž Tate Modern: 1.5h Pop Art is super fun, and thereโ€™s a free 45-minute guided tour at the top of every hour. Highly recommend joining to get deeper insights into the curation. Personally, I found it more interesting than the Pompidou in Paris โ€“ the artworks here are much more expressive and thought-provoking! ๐Ÿ’Ž Wallace Collection: 2h A hidden gem! Free guided tours from 2:30-3:30 PM (first-come, first-served at the front desk). Theyโ€™ve got quirky treasures like what looks like an armillary sphere, but itโ€™s actually a storage device for quill pens โ€“ one part opens to reveal ink, the other part opens for sand to dry the ink faster! ๐Ÿ’Ž National Gallery: 1.5h The layout is a bit chaotic, and while there are plenty of artworks, none stood out to me as memorable (personal opinion!). ๐Ÿ’Ž Natural History Museum? Amazing exterior! If youโ€™re into natural history, go for it โ€“ but itโ€™s not really my thing. #travelchecklist #uktrip #travellerswonderland #100waysoftravel #localguides #familytrip #ๆ—…่กŒ็ตๆ„Ÿ #ๅš็‰ฉ้ฆ†
