Sunflower Seeds

And FINALLY before getting a spot of lunch and catching my train back to the coast my final stop at the Tate Modern was not to disappoint...

100 million porcelain sunflower seeds were made and hand painted in the Chinese City of Jingdezhen to lie on the Turbine Hall floor. Outstanding.

First visit to the New Ceramics Gallery - V&A

Eventually I arrived on the 6th floor of the V&A to see the Ceramics. Its not easy to find... I'd made my way up to the 4th floor to discover the lift doesn't go any higher! So down I went, back to the Informatin Desk to get a different lift up to the lofty 6th floor!


Worth the trip, although I did wonder how many people actually make it there...
