183 - Planning A Visit to the V&A East Storehouse

I’ll be near London Liverpool Street shortly and I do fancy checking out the V&A East Storehouse. Although it will make my head spin. 

It’s like a museum but instead of curated exhibits, you can explore items in storage. They seem to be stored transparently. Which makes sense. It absolutely makes sense. Moving around a physical space and viewing objects which fully occupy that space. Not squatters shoved in, rubbish strewn in a pile or unruly occupants jostling for space. Calm objects with big margins and plenty of breathing space. Models on a catwalk, ready to turn a heel. Soldiers never trip, about turn in proud formation. Platform 9 and 3/4 at Kings Cross Station. Form an orderly queue to view a smug enamel sign. You’re so vain.
