Modern Art Museum


The Modern Art Museum was a little intense. There were some interesting pieces then there were some pieces of art work that were literally scribbles on that crappy kind of paper they give you only in preschool the one that has a grey tint and seems to be made out of recycled papermache (you know the one with the dotted lines in the middle for doing your ABC's). I'm not dissing, I just may not have the artistic eye that is required to see everything that masterpieces have to offer.

Oh and on the bottom floor was a realllly modern exhibit of the body used as an artistic canvas in all ways you can think possible.

All in all though was good to see. What I am looking forward to seeing is Kunst's the scream which came to Vienna October 16th.

Schloss Schönbrunn Zoo


This is a world renowned zoo that is considered a "must-see" and for good reason because they have a wide array of animals in a beautiful setting...and its old.


The first two pictures are of the huge green house that is next to the Zoo not actually in the zoo but still cool.

Founded as an imperial menagerie in 1752, it is the oldest zoo in the world. Today Tiergarten Schönbrunn is considered and regards itself as a scientifically administered zoo which sees its main purpose as a centre for species conservation and general nature conservation as well as in the fulfillment of the education mandate given to it by the legislation.
