Today we got to see two very different aspects and examples of design.  First we visited the Victoria and Albert Museum.  This museum had had various examples of design throughout history from fashion to silverware to furnature.  My favorite exhibit at the V&A was the exhibit “Balenciaga: Shaping Fashion” which show cased the works of Cristóbal Balenciaga.  His exquisite and innovative designs helped to shape modern fashion.  It was incredible to see how unique and different his designs were.

After we visited the V&A we went to the Natural History Museum.  Here we saw all sorts of different things from throughout history.  They had exhibits about volcano and earth quakes among many other things.  My favorite exhibit was about minerals, rocks, and precious “Treasures From Earth”.  This exhibit was my favorite because it displayed rocks and minerals that had natural beautiful designs and patterns.  They were amazing to look at and offered a completely opposite version of design from what we saw at the V&A.
