 | The
area of South Kensington is situated near Hyde Park,
one of the biggest parks of London. Until the middle
of the 19th century, South Kensington was a quiet rural area with many private
schools. |
| In
1851, The Prince Albert instigated the Great Exhibition,
the biggest art and science exhibition ever organized. |
| Several
museums and schools are opened to the public and
is welcome as many londonian inhabitants as tourists. |
| Indeed, Prince
Albert & Victoria Museum houses, the most huge
art collection in the world, and the public has the opportunity to visit Science
Museum with an interactive display. Moreover the "Creepy Crawlies" exhibition
in the Natural History Museum has proved attractive. |
|
The story of music is completely restored in the Royal College
of Music where different instruments are shown like a 1531 harpsichord. |
| South Kensington
is a very lively cultural area especially in summer
with concerts in the Royal Albert Hall. |
