Night at the Museum(s)

Rooftop View of the City at Night
It is a tradition in Vienna to have one night in October when a 12 euro ticket will give you access to any participating museum in the city from 6pm-1am. Last Saturday, October 6th, was the Der Lange Nacht der Museen. I met up with about 10 other teachers from ICSV at 4:30pm. After fueling up at Starbucks and prioritizing our list of museums, we set out! We saw the Chimney Sweep Museum, the Coffee Museum, the National Library (part of the Habsburg Palace), the Albertina Art Museum, and The Demel (the royal bakery). I had a great time getting to see original Michelangelo's, Picaso's, bakers making sugared acorns and trees, and getting to spend time with some of the teachers. I also tried a new church with some of the girls from the group the following Sunday, and I really loved it!
