The lowdown
Among the grandeur of the Victoria and Albert Museum, with its world-famous collections, hide two small and easily missed tributes to a more humble subject, dogs. Tucked in and around the museum's central courtyard garden are little memorials to beloved canine companions linked to the institution over the years.
They are the sort of tender, overlooked detail that makes exploring a great museum for free so rewarding, proof that even the most monumental places have a soft and personal side. It is free to seek them out, a gentle treasure hunt in one of London's loveliest free courtyards, perfect for a pause between galleries.
