Natural History Museum, London, England : The Entrance
Located in South Kensington, this vast Gothic Romanesque structure is considered to be the finest 19th c. museum building in Britain and what the Victorians thought to be the best architecture. It was designed by British architect Alfred Waterhouse, and took several years to build: 1873-81.
Its frame is strong: of iron and steel ('revolutionary' for its time); its iron roof is paneled with pretty painted plant decorations. The facade is long and symmetrical , based on German Romanesque (Romanesque is symbolic and allegoric; often stylized with intent to impress upon us emotionally). The towers are cathedral-like; the main portal is cavernous. Corner pavilions have steep roofs. The terracotta is a creamy brown colour, banded in blue state; the brick is burnt.

Gorgeous photo of the Museum's exterior architecture, showing a repetition of columns and arches. I love that the reflection of the sky in the glass windows matches the blue in some of the tiles! F/L

Joseph Levine
Connie, thanks for the comprehensive data on this Museum, and for preserving the muted blue/brown coloring of its stone exterior -- which might easily pass for the interior of so many English cathedrals...
Connie Handscomb replied:
Thank you, Joseph! the stonework can keep one occupied for a long time, such intricate detail .. I didn't want to mess with the colours at all, I think they are wonderful as they are .. thank you for appreciating this image :))

Joe Jake Pratt
Nice image Connie. The title explains it well.
Connie Handscomb replied:
Thank you, Joe! there's either a mirror behind the grillwork over the doors .. or else very shiny glass acting as a mirror ... that adds to the Dizziness! .. ; a building worthy of a visit over & over again every trip to London :)))

Glenn DiPaola
I thought this looked familiar. Excellent pov and processing on this the highlight and shadow in the arches are three dimensional. The upper corners are handled very well, not easy to do. I have a few detail images of those amazing columns. Wonderful image. v/f
Connie Handscomb replied:
Hi Glenn! I have the columns as well .. details will be posted .. sometime, another time it was a super-bright Blue Sky London Day, & I had just recently broken my toe overseas (! .. ) ... so holding my camera & my walking stick (purchased to make sure people didn't step on me} & trying not to hold up the line to the entrance too long (many people there that day) all challenges so really appreciate your kind comment. Thank you so much! :)))
