I just wrote http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Euphonicon . I notice there's one in the V&A, and the V&A is quite happy to have people taking photos to put in Wikipedia ... anyone stopping by any time soon?

Londond meetup 13th December but I don't currently have a working camera.
I have an afternoon to kill in London this Thursday and I own a digital camera. I'm not sure I've ever been to the V&A, so I wouldn't mind a visit. Give me a list of things to photograph!

You'll be pleased to know I just forwarded your message to wikien-l and commons-l, asking people to get back to you with room/collection/cabinet numbers ;-)
The euphonicon is apparently in Musical Instruments, room 40a, case BY14. Page: http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O84878/piano-euphonicon-piano/ A most helpful museum website, indeed.

Thank you so much! I only have a couple of hours available, so it better not to too long a list... Anything I don't get to will have to wait for Britain Loves Wikipedia.

Gathering a list, with the article waiting for the picture in question, would be a damn useful thing anyway.
(What do V&A get out of this? Their name in captions all over Wikipedia.)

Is there a version of it sorted per location, e.g. so all items in the V&A we need a photo of could be tracked down easily enough?
(If we had a good "Missing images of items in the V&A list," I suspect the musem would be very helpful if we ask nicely.)

That seems to be used mostly for places in London, rather than things that are in London museums.
