Vienna - October 2011




Inside the very grand Kunsthistoriches Museum. Some amazing work including 'The Tower of Babel' by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, above.

The Hundertwasserhaus. Unusual council housing designed by Friedensreich Hundertwasser in 1983. Not my favourite building in Vienna...

Vienna - October 2011



The Secession building, built by Joseph Maria Olbrich in 1898 as the home of the Secession movement. The Secession sought to regenerate the art movement in Vienna, promoting 'art for art's sake'. Klimt and Moser were key member. Saw lots of their work in the excellent Leopold gallery in the MuseumQuartier.

 Mumok, the museum of modern art in the MuseumQuartier.

Our  hotel in Vienna, the 'Twenty Five Hours Hotel Wien'. Not the concrete bit, just the glass on top and down the side. Lovely suites, excellent staff and great views of the city from our room and also from the bar on the top floor.
