Very athletic – worth looking at
Vienna is a very beautiful city with many galleries and museums to rival Berlin. We saw the following:
-
Hofburg Imperial Palace – contained many individual museums including crown jewels in the Imperial Vault, Ephesus museum, Museum of Musical Instruments, Museum of Arms and Armour
-
Leopold Museum – our favourite with largest collection of Egon Schiele paintings and other impressionists
-
MAK – museum of contemporary art which Anthony didn’t really appreciate or hated to be precise – contained works by Cy ? and cubists
-
Sigmund Freud Museum – very small but located in the actual apartment that Freud lived and practised in
-
KunsthausWien – Hundertwasser was the person who designed contemporary living spaces which were irregular with uneven floors, tiled exteriors, colourful and an extensive collection of his art
-
Schloss Schonbrunn Summer Palace – very beautiful interiors and exteriors including gardens and mazes
-
Kunsthistorisches Museum – Museum of Fine Arts – including Greek and Roman antiquities, Brughel, Reubens
-
Natural history museum to view the Venus of Willendorf
-
Vien Museum – excellent history of Vienna up until 1900
