Yesterday, we went to the Albertina museum, the Butterfly House and I went to the State Opera Museum. The Albertina is beautiful, features Dürer sketching, the most famous one is of the Hare. We have a copy hanging at our house. The Butterly House is cool,;walking among live butterflies, which can land on you at anythime. But, I have to say, the one near my brother's house in Ohio is much better...The Opera museum was simple, but great. Lots of pictures, costumes and history. Two huge displays on the 2 most important eras of its history; the tenures of Gustav Mahler at the turn of the century and that of Herbert Von Karajan, in the late 50's and early 60's.
