My mother and an old friend are visiting this week and we took advantage of an Alfons Mucha exhibit at the Palace Belvedere in Vienna. I recommend it highly, if you have the chance – the exhibit is well done, with many examples of his work throughout his life. And as I looked at his posters, I admired his distinctive style – and wished that I could be so creative!
Saturday our family, Gina, and Ryan caught a train to Vienna and made our way to the Albertina museum (across from the opera house and Cafe Mozart) for an exhibition of a few hundred drawings and paintings by Van Gogh. The picture below shows Paula, Gina, Kristian, and Ryan – and a cast of thousands – standing in line. The door in the background is the entrance. Once you get through that door, there is a room with another line to wait in. When you finish waiting in that room, you go into another room with a long line in front of the ticket desk. Lots of waiting – but well, well worth it.
