Victoria & Albert Museum, London: 64 reviews and 122 photos
The Silver Discovery Area is located in Room 66. Here you can make your own hallmark, touch silver objects, explore x-rays or just get blown away by the sheer amount of silversmiths' craft on display. There is also a Discovery Wall with objects to identify.
Also in Room 66 is the massive Victorian copy of the Jerningham Wine Cooler. The original was created in the 1700s at the request of Henry Jerningham, a banker and master silversmith. Elkington and Co. used their new technique of electroplating to produce the copy in the 1800s and that is what you see in the picture. It was one of 200 objects of English silver in Russia to be electroplated.
