AUSTRIA - IMPERIAL VIENNA - 1975

LAND OF QUEENS, KINGS AND KAISERS


"MARIA-THERESIA dominates the museum square"


"KUNSTHISTORISCHES MUSEUM - The most fabulous collection of paintings from Brueghel, the Oldest, one of my favourites painters"


"PARLIAMENT - Not so relevant in Theresia's times"


"DAS RATHAUS - Definitely a nice place for a Mayor to work"


"BURGTHEATER - From an unused dance-parlour to a National Theater"


"VOTIVKIRCHE - Up to the Sky"


"HOFBURG - Emperor's Home"


"BURGGARTEN - Just a small part of the Kaiser's garden"


"STAATSOPER - Home to great conductors: Mahler, R.Strauss, Walter, Furtwangler, Böhm, Karajan..."
