This week I had a few awesome experiences in Vienna. I visited the Egyptian exhibit in the Kunsthistorischen Museum. This Museum is HUGE and has a ton of branches. I have a pass to get into most of them so I will be going back and I'll have more pictures then. I also visited the National Treasury (it's another branch of the Kunsthistorischen). They had some amazing jewels in there...about 7000 years worth! They also had a lot of international treasures and artifacts....my favorite museum in Vienna so far!
This is the largest aquamarine on earth....an insane amount of karats....I can't remember but I think it was over 500....maybe.
I also saw My Fair Lady at the Volksoper. That's not the State Opera house....but the people's opera house....everything is cheaper and the people of Vienna can always find a show there in their own language. So, I got to watch an amazing musical completely in German! HA! I only knew the basic plot line to it was interesting trying to figure it out, but I love the show! It was even better because I paid 2 euro for standing room and it didn't fill up so they let the standing room only people sit in the audience...which was a good thing because the show was 3 hours long!
