You should spend about 20 minutes on this task.

The bar chart shows the number of visitors to three London Museums between 2007 and 2012.

Summarize the information by selecting and reporting the main features, and make comparisons where relevant.

With regards to Victoria and Albert Museum, it’s fullness double decreased during three years, dropping noticeably from 14 million in 2007 to 7 million in 2010; however, it started to grow up constantly from 2010 to 2012.
