Vienna Day 3 Museum of Art History

We spent a whole day at the Museum of Art History.

There was so much to see. The museum housed a great collection of Egyptian antiquities, sarcophagus, papyrus and urns. There were works by Pieter Bruegel the Elder, his son Jan Bruegel the Elder, and Jan's son Jan Bruegel the Younger. There was a large collection of Italian Masters, coins of the empire and interesting automation toys of the Hapsburg Royals that were gold gilded, and amusing.

As we were so long at the gallery, we decided to have a break in the The Art History Cafe. The prices were so inflated that we only had for a cup coffee and lemonade. Even the cakes did not look inviting.

We also went on a night walking tour with Prime Tours. It was good to see Vienna by night. At the end of the tour, we visited Church of St Stephens and were treated to a short organ practice.
