Westminster Abbey, Tate Britain, & London Walks Jack the Ripper Tour | London, England

I began my day by visiting Westminster Abbey. 

Victoria & Albert Museum Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams Exhibit | London, England

I normally wouldn't create a separate post for one of the many adventures I underwent in a day. However, this exhibition is absolutely worth it. The "Christian Dior: Designer of Dreams" exhibit at the Victoria and Albert Museum is incredible! 

I took a Van Gogh painting from Oklahoma to London | Norman, OK & London, England

I went to London with an older man. 132 years old to be exact. 

Recently I was the courier who took Vincent van Gogh's painting Portrait of Alexander Reid from Norman, Oklahoma, to London, England, for an exhibition at the Tate Britain. It was awesome!

Tate Britain, Harrods, British Library, & the Tate Modern | London, England

On day 4 it was threatening to rain all day so we visited the Tate Britain, Harrods, British Library, and the Tate Modern.

The Tate Britain has a ton of works and ephemera from J.M.W. Turner. However, they were mainly his works with figures (at least those were the pieces on view when we visited), not the dramatic landscapes and seascapes I was hoping to see. Those Turner paintings are on view at the National Gallery. Nonetheless, Tate Britain has some incredible paintings by John Singer Sargent as well as literary/romance/Pre-Raphaelite works. Those pieces were installed in the salon style so some of them were difficult to see well.
