Tuesday, November 11th, Vienna
Tuesday morning we got up and took the subway to the Belvedere Museum. The Belvedere is split in to two museums - the Upper Belvedere and the Lower Belvedere. The Upper was full of Klimt, Schiele, and many Austrian painters. The Lower had a Klimt show - about Klimt and his peers. They were all amazing, the Klimts were so gorgeous in person, and I loved all the Schiele we saw - much different than others I had seen of his.
Between the Upper and Lower there is a gorgeous garden area, with statues galore.


After the Belvedere we walked to the Hundertwasser House. This brightly colored apartment building was designed by Hundertwasser, and is one of the coolest buildings I've seen. I took tons of photos, and in the gift shop looked at photos of the building at different times - with fresh coats of paint, and in the snow. I would love to see it in all these variations.
