V&A Blythe house visit

     

    The V&A has its origins in the Great Exhibition of 1851, with which Henry Cole, the museum's first director, was involved in planning.The Blythe house is a small museum for V&A and British museum. It was build at 1900 as a bank. Then at 1970 V&A and British museum use it as a storage of collection. The collection of textiles consists of more than 53,000 examples, and there most is from western European though all populated continents are represented, this is the largest such collection in the world. Techniques represented include weaving, printing, quilting embroidery, lace, tapestry and carpets.I was very lucky and happy get a  chance to visit here and had a short time to enjoy in this museum.And then. I im so excited when I was have a chance to visit the small exhibition what about this fabric and every fabric is just like they have they own story.There was a small exhibition display those old and previous textile books. These books were collect all the fabric and technique from 1970s.  how the price drop or rise and the changes of popular pattern, it was a show about the technology process development. however,the fabric in this collection was not exist on the world and out of our life now.
