Euro18: Friday at museums

With work taking up all of Thursday, and a business dinner on Friday evening, I took some time on Friday to go to the Kunstshistorische Museum (an art museum) and also to the royal treasury of the Habsburgs.

The art museum has a major collection of Flemish paintings, and some Klimt murals.

This Tower of Babel by Pieter Bruegel the Elder is one of the most famous paintings in the collection:

I took a break for a lentil salad for lunch, in the museum dining room:

And then to the Hofburg:

And from the museum, check out the underbite on Leopold I:

The inbred royals!!
