An Afternoon at the Kunsthistorisches Museum
Yesterday the weather was so bad that I decided to take my afternoon walk inside, at the Kunsthistorisches Museum (Museum of Fine Arts). The museum was constructed by Gottfried Semper and Karl Hasenauer in order to house the art collections of the imperial Habsburg family and to make it accessible to the general public and was opened in 1891. It houses the largest Bruegel collection in the world and currently shows the first Lucian Freud (a grandson of Sigmund Freud) exhibition in Austria.

Oh my, that is a gorgeous setting! I'm envious!
ReplyDeleteI love this shot! Great angle and the subject reminds me of the Louvre.
