So mammoth, the building looks for all the world like it should be a re-purposed castle, but it was actually built to serve as a place to display some of the Hapsburg treasures.
Here are some of my favorites in no particular order . . .
Looking down on the dining room after it closed
Appreciating art is thirsty work
Miles of medals, coins, and small portraits. I'm talking m i l e s!
A small sample of the ancient treasures from Egypt.
Just two of the beautiful fountains outside
A preview of coming attractions. Oh, how I'd like to go back.
Ed Ruscha is another whole story, but I loved this quote: "The ancients stole all our great ideas." It's the best excuse for underachievement I've ever heard!
