Museum Time!!!

So, right before I left, I decided to visit some museums. I visited the Kunsthistorisches Museum and the Belvedere. I didn't want to see the national history one, since in my opinion, few could compare with Chicago's Field Museum.

First to be displayed: Kunsthistorisches Museum---that name gave me soooo much trouble!

This is not the Kunsthistoriches Museum--rather it's the Natural History Museum--the Kunst is located across from this (I'm actually sitting on the steps of the Kunst.)



This artist was replicating a famous painting and doing a good job of it, too!

The famous picture of Babylon.

Cool, fun art at the top of the museum--reminds me of my room =)

This museum also housed one of the largest coin collections in the world--this is for Tom Serfass!


In the Egyptian section, they had this, an original notebook of Champollion's work to decipher hieroglyphics, which I thought was pretty cool.

Many, many sarcophagi!!

Me, eating my lunch on the Kunsthistoriches' steps.


And now the Belvedere:
Here, they house such works by Monet and the famous Austrian, Gustav Klimt. I got to see the original painting: The Kiss--quite impressive! However, I couldn't take pictures inside, so here are pictures of the grounds.
