Members from SI Winchester, SI St Albans and SI Preston were privileged to attend a lecture by Beatriz Chadour Sampson at the V & A on Saturday. \u00a0Beatriz gave us a comprehensive overview of the exhibition using high-definition images of many of the spectacular pieces. We particularly enjoyed the fascinating insights into the immense amount of work required to curate such a world-class exhibition.<\/p>\n

The V & A provided a delicious lunch in the seminar room and the clubs had a chance to socialise; this would not have been possible in the tumult of the V & A cafe! \u00a0In the afternoon we visited the exhibition at our leisure. Of course it stands on its own merits but we all thought we gained so much more because of our great good fortune in having it introduced to us by its curator, our valued friend Beatriz.<\/p>\n
