V&A museum

• 

The V&A owns the world’s largest collection of post-classical sculpture, with the holdings of Italian Renaissance items being the largest outside Italy. The departments of Asia include art from South Asia, China, Japan, Korea, and the Islamic world. The East Asian collections are among the best in Europe, with particular strengths in ceramics and metalwork, while the Islamic collection is amongst the largest in the Western world. Overall, it is one of the largest museums in the world. We visited the museum on Friday and I saw many interesting exhibits, such as the next picture

• 

The name of the picture is TIPPO’ TIGER, the tiger is the East India Company army and the soldier underneath is the European victim. The wooden tiger with an organ inside its body was discovered in the palace’s music room and shipped to London. As”Tippoo’s Tiger” it became one of the most popular exhibits in the Company’s new museum. When visited turned the handle at the side, noises were produced that supposedly the handle at the side, noises produced that supposedly imitated the European victim’s dying wails of agony. The tiger came to South Kensington when the Indian Museum’s collection was split up in 1879.
