When in London, be sure to visit the "Print Room" at the Victoria and Albert Museum.  You can view Cyanotypes, Albumen, Platinum prints and others processes by several masters.  I was recently there and spent a few hours looking at prints including Anna Atkins cyanotypes.  Beautiful!!  Also, I saw the "Pencil Of Nature " book. 
 
I was surprised that they did not have many gum bichromate prints in their collection.

I would love it if you would keep this conversation on list because I would
like to visit museums, etc., that have great alt collections as well? I can
remember one comment from a former list member that the Folkwang museum in
Essen, Germany was a most memorable alt experience of his life.

Dear List,

it may be possible that two of us teachers from our university will get a
chance to make a trip to some European cities in the near future with a view
to familiarize ourselves with European alt-photo works. We're particularly
interested in UK, France, Belgium, Netherlands, Germany, Italy...

So I'd like to ask your advice: Can you recommend access (and possibly
guidance) to public or private collections of original alt prints,
historical or contemporary. What would be the best museums, educational
institutes, academies, galleries, etc. in your country, relative to alt?

If you prefer you can reply off-list.

Thanks in advance,
- Jalo
