The Cult of Beauty: The Aesthetic Movement 1860-1900

Luscious exhibition at the V&A looking at the aesthetic movement of the late 19th century.

It covered all aspects of the movement from pictures though furniture and publishing. There was a good tape tour voiced by Rupert Everett with just enough information and stops. It enhanced the exhibition rather than distracting you.

It was lovely to see pictures shown with artefacts. I liked the recreation of a room in Rossetti's house and the wall of Pre-Raphaelite stunners.

The whole exhibition was like falling into a good quality hot chocolate with marshmallows!
