First sentence: The destination of the inter-cultural day trippers in Moncure Conway's book, Travels in South Kensington, published in 1882, was the South Kensington Museum, which came into being on the present site in 1857, and survived until 1899 when it was renamed the Victoria and Albert Museum.
