Hey, y’all! My one stop in London on the way to Edinburgh last week was the V&A’s Museum of Childhood. Funny story – it’s across town from the main location. Which they don’t say on their website. But I had enough time to make it there, and the MoC is not so large that I didn’t have enough time for everything. It’s designed for children mostly, though it’s of course fascinating for a childhood studies scholar.

At some point, I found myself thinking more about how the curators were presenting things than what they actually were presenting. I had intended to upload these pictures along with some of my thoughts on the train up from London because there’s lots of things here that should be interesting for our class or for some of our work. But my technology was annoying, plus the train says free wifi and then charges 9 pounds an hour. So nope.

Which means, here’s a whole slew of pictures, some out of order because I think the order got switched when I uploaded from the camera. Also some are pretty bad quality because the lighting varied. If I can figure out how, there’s one picture (about Pulcinella/Punch shows) that’s really interesting that’s stuck on my camera – I will try to add it later.
