The above sculpted image of Christ used in Palm Sunday Processions in southern Germany is one of the many delights on show at the V&A Museum's Medieval and Renaissance Galleries.
As part of our regular cycle of Chapter Meetings the Ebbsfleet Clergy in Bucks held its Chapter today in the V&A Museum. We met for coffee and muffins in the Cafe and then spent a good couple of hours exploring the newly refurbished Medieval and Renaissance Galleries. Seeing such beautiful ecclesiastical art in display cases always leaves a feeling of sadness that the original intention behind their creation has been lost, but, having said that, the newly refurbished galleries are well worth a visit.
Following a splendid lunch at a little Italian Restaurant in Old Compton Street two of us made a pilgrimage to "Forbidden Planet" before returning home.
