Description

Left: This is one half of the Cast Courts (the other court was being renovated), they house plaster casts of sculptures, friezes and tombs. The two columns seen are parts of a full-scale replica of Trajan's Column. Right: This is The John Madejski Garden (interior courtyard), newly renovated in 2005). These are just two of the things that really impressed me at the V&A, the Cast Courts for the sheer size of the exhibits as well as impressive sculptures, and the garden for its design and space - really peaceful and serene. Original 7599x4177, 8285x3038 Used Sony Cybershot P200, PSPX, and PTGui (16 and 32 Photo Stitch) Thanks for viewing!

Bit 'o Trivia: Trajan's column was erected A.D. 106 to 113 in honor of emperor Trajan. It was located at the then just completed Trajan forum and surrounded by buildings. The column commemorates his victories in Dacia (now Romania). The column is located at Trajan's forum - part of the Imperial Forums - at the Via dei Fori Imperiali, right next to the Piazza Venezia- Rome
