More art to shake a stick at...

It was cold today. Only noticed when we left the house this afternoon tovisit the Leopold Museum in the Museum Quartier. I think it shows how well insulated buildings are on the continent compared to back home.

When we arrived in Vienna I noticed an exhibition called Zwischen den Kriegen (Between the Wars). Unfortunately it finished the day we arrived. This morning however, Tim noticed that the exhibition run had been extended, so we decided to go along.

The exhibition chronicled the artistic endeavours of Austrian artists (not necessarily in Austria) between 1918 and 1939. The gallery is an amazing space, very understated with large well lit rooms and a huge cavernous central atrium.

The exhibition was quite interesting though completely depoliticised. Odd that.

The ground floor (and part of the basement) house the largest collection of work by Egon Schiele in the world (allegedly). It was suitably impressive. I'll take you to see it when you come to stay.

We went for a stroll around the area as the gallery closed before retiring to Das Möbel, a bar/café at the bottom of Burggasse for a bier.
