Our flat in London was situated on Petherton Rd. in London. It is part of the Islington area and was a mere 10 minute walk to our son’s flat in Highbury. We would frequently walk down Petherton to catch the overground rail to go to the Storehouse in one direction and Hampstead in the other. Here are a few of the doorways we would pass.

The V&A East Storehouse officially opens to the public this weekend. Kevin and I were given a private tour of the facility on Thursday by our son Brendan.

Vivienne Chow from Artnet News has written an excellent article about this amazing space and one press release said that ´the museum is the exhibit’ . https://news.artnet.com/art-world/inside-va-east-storehouse-2651021?amp=1

One place where you can actually pull up a seat is here where you can recline back and enjoy this wooden Spanish fresco from the 15th century.

Here are a few more seats to enjoy.

If you live in London or are planning a trip to this great city, the V&A East Storehouse is a must see.
