Art and Fashion Museum Exploration, Europe

My priority art and fashion history museum destinations, selected after many hours navigating museum sites online, researching, and reading reviews were:

London

Victoria and Albert
National Portrait Gallery London
Museum of London
Tate Modern London

Ghent and Bruges - MIAT Museum Ghent
(In these two cities, my primary focus was the visible cultural history, the setting, the historic buildings - I chose to walk and absorb the outdoor scenery, rather than spending time inside.)

Paris

Musee d'Orsay
Centre Pompidou National Modern Art Museum
Versailles: The Queen's Hamlet
Musee des Arts et Metiers
Musee d'art Moderne de la Ville de Paris

At my Toile La La blog, you'll find three posts with details from each destination and lots of photos. If you select the city links above, you'll be transported to the corresponding Toile La La post. The camera was with me at all times - on the Thames, the canals of Ghent and Bruges, the Seine, in the museums, up the steps of the Notre Dame Cathedral to the rooftop, up the steps of the Ghent and the Bruges belfries, and all through the city streets.
