Gallery Weekend / 29.04 – 01.05 / ” I Amsterdam You Berlin”

V&A – Botticelli Reimagined / 05 March to 03 April – Venus
She said: ” Lets do something nice B.” Me knowing how much she loves going to museums, galleries, plays and opera promptly agreed. We will have a little bit to eat in the V&A and will explore Botticelli. That was the plan. I had no idea how big the V&A is and how much there…
