Liechtenstein Museum #1

At the Liechtenstein Museum the Princely House of Liechtenstein, one of Europe´s oldest families of noble lineage, presents a large part of its collection of European works of baroque art (Rubens, van Dyck, Raphael, Rembrandt etc.). In the final days of the Second World War the collection has been taken to safety in Vaduz, the capital of the principality of Liechtenstein. The museum was reopened in March 2004.

  1. We've been to the Lichtenstein Museum to a Viennese concert in 2006 while sailing from Amsterdam to Budapest. It is a fabulous museum.

  2. I have written to a penpal in Liechtenstein for 25 years and visited her there several times! I'm very interested in visiting that museum someday! Welcome to the CDP blog community - I look forward to seeing your daily Vienna photos!
