March 25, 2004

Went to the Science Museum.  I like the dioramas recreating scenes from the history of medicine.  Lots of noisy schoolkids.

Then I went to the Natural History Museum around the corner.

Afterward I walked through Battersea Park before leaving the South Kensington-Chelsea area.

Took photos of the Royal Albert Hall and the Albert Memorial seen from Kensington Gardens; the Victoria & Albert Museum with the Natural History Museum in the background; and the Peace Pagoda in Battersea Park.

Dinner was Burger King.

Went to Mozart's The Magic Flute, another translated English National Opera production at the Coliseum.  that opera's always delighted me, in a rather Bohemian spirit, and this was a good production indeed.  The Queen of the Night bore a resemblance to the Bride of Frankenstein!
