Museumquartier. In the morning, I would pack snacks and food and at lunchtime we would picnic in various places. One day it was in a large grassy area at the Hofburg Palace that turned into a dog park while we were there (Izzy was very excited by this)...I was less then enthused by the begging 4 legged friends and used my limited knowledge of German to scream sitzen (sit down) and nein (no), another was in the Tiergarten by a giant lizard (in a cage of course), and this day was in the middle of a plaza surrounded by beautiful buildings, hedges, and this sculpture.

Kunsthistorisches Museum has much of the Hapsburgs' collected art from all over Europe. There were alot of nudes (paintings that is) in this museum and works by Titian, Intoretto, Rubens, Raphael, and Rembrandt to name a few.

On the ground floor was an Egyptian display (Isabelle liked the sphinx and the sarcophagi) and statues.

Isabelle really enjoys art museums and it is pretty easy to keep her interest and engaged in the paintings. It is unreal how she can point out details that I miss.

Rooms filled with amazing art.
