First look of Vienna
Dr. Schnabel gave us a tour
Look how cool his Schnabel (beak) is!
The ceiling of a school lecture hall
I don't know about you, but I would not be able to concentrate
This is just a super cool outfit.
Also, My teacher is totally better than yours.
So 1 guess what this will lead to
Yes, a church. A Gothic church to boot too
Obligatory Church photos
A sculpture on the side
Our program coordinator likes Dr. Schnabel's mask too
A random church.
ORGAN!
The top of that huge Gothic church (Stephan's cathedral) is patterned to look like the flag
Above Micheal's church
A tribute to the plague and the horrors it caused
Another view of Micheal's church
So much gold leaf!
On the coffins beneath the church in the crypts (what we came to see)
This coffin was restored so you can see the decoration on it
See how pretty they made it?
What's that around the corner you ask?
BONES! We were much more interested in this than the coffins. Our guide was amazed.
Out front of the Josifinum (with the wax organs)
Old-time optometrist's tools
Real tools from doctors way back when
One of the first leg prosthetic's
Just having fun
We got a bit bored towards the end
RANDOM CHURCH ALERT!
A painting from the impressionist museum
Close up of the wood carved painting (you know, the one I went into detail on in the post?)
This one had 4 blocks
At the University
Where we ate lunch (ha, uni-brow)
Nina! She was our med-student guide
MORE CHURCH!
During our hang out later that day
Don't mind us, just enjoying a fantastic day with our sweets to finish it off
Where our classical music concert was held
I know, so much church, but so beautiful!
Group pic (minus me)
At the Freud museum
Wall of his achievements
A recreation of where his patients would wait
His dresser and mirror...thing
Opposite the Natural history museum
The ceiling is so cool
Ancient moose or elk bones
In front of a home made of mammoth bones (recreation)
The Venus Statue. See, large and robust
This thing is only like 3 inches high
The gemstone and silk bouquet
The bones and recreation of an ancient fish
These bones and our guide are standing on the same level. Just to give some perspective
An ancient elephant (not a mammoth)
The largest turtle bones ever discovered (not a cast, the original)
Yes, it's distorted, but it's the only way to get it all (I was against the wall backing up)
OK, this thing goes all the way to the other side of the room.
A narwhal's (unicorn!) tooth
A baby blue whale's bones
A rare double narwhal's horns (bi-corn!)
Alright, think 5 of these for every room, for over 20 rooms and you have an approximation on the spread of animals they had
These owls are just really cool, and Hedwig is there too!
The dodo and wolf in the endangered/extinct species exhibit
The extinct Tasmanian wolf
What humans would have looked like long ago
This was in the ocean creatures exhibit. It's made of glass
Yes, that is a giant squid reaching across the ocean animal room
When we got out, it was beautiful. And not a church, but part of a palace.
See, I can be diverse.
We went to the palace cafe beneath this opening
Congratulations!! You got past all 70 pictures. Yes, that was only a fraction of the picture I took and I had to cut down on a lot. I would have put up more on the wax organs or the pickled human organs that we saw, but there were absolutely no pictures allowed there, so sorry. I hope you enjoyed it!
