Kitsch in Vienna

Silver shining beasts

Vienna has always been a symbol of kitsch. It is as it had been at the kaiser monarchy, and it’s the same now.
As we have seen, a la mode are golden and pink pigs, silver deer and black dogs. And some other remaining
from previous years. Just judge yourself.

Hundertwasserhaus

Hundertwasser is a renowned Austrian painter and architect that had incredibly cool ideas in architecture and makes really nice paintings. Read more in wikipedia. We have been to his museum in KunstaHausWien and we have seen Hundertwasserhaus that is nearby Kunsthaus. In the KunstHaus we have also seen an exhibition of photographies of Annie Leibowitz. Apparently, this museum had the best exhibition we have been to in Vienna. Website of Kunsthaus Wien 10 points of 10. (-;

Selling sausages

We went to Vienna for a short trip just before Christmas. Vienna is amazing city. It is so much more cultural than Prague, so much more relaxed. I think people just care more about themselves and about the city. And you can feel it. However, I would appreciate a little warmer weather. It was so cold that I was almost not taking pictures… -20 degrees is not a good weather for a walk… (-; Next time!
