Day 126: Swavorski Crystal World

We didn’t know Swarovski crystal was made in Austria until we arrived to Innsbruck. Mary’s mom would buy the annual edition Christmas ornaments every year at least until she was 18. We bussed out to Swarovski Kristallwelten which is an art museum featuring the crystals and 18 artist made rooms.

We really aren’t modern art people, but this experience was absolutely worth the €23 ticket. They had different themes such as winter wonderland, the sun, and optical illusions with light. The best part was a room dedicated to original outfits warn by famous stars that featured crystals, such as Elton John, Lady Gaga, Madonna, and Cher.

After getting back to Innsbruck, grabbed dinner at a traditional Austrian- Tyrol restaurant and walked around the downtown at night.
