#instawien
The cynic in me says to get out and enjoy the museums before they have to shut again. Definitely not as busy as you would expect for a bitterly cold Sunday afternoon, but also not quite as empty as I hoped either. Tried and failed to find the way into the Beethoven Bewegt exhibition

A novel approach from @leopold_museum to informing visitors about the measures they should be aware of for their visit.

Fascinating new exhibition @hdgoe, featuring objects damaged during the November Pogrom (“Kristallnacht”) that were recently rediscovered in a cellar of an Orthodox Jewish school in Vienna’s 2nd district #Leopoldstadt, on #Malzgasse. The building housed a school, a synagogue and the world’s oldest Jewish Museum prior to the catastrophic events of 1938. After the Pogrom and during the war, the building became a Jewish old people’s home and a place where Jews who had been evicted from their homes lived in cramped conditions prior to their deportations to ghettos and extermination camps. It is now a school once more. The exhibited objects include the everyday objects such as equipment from science lessons, leather shoes, crockery, but also artefacts from the museum, including art and ritual objects and gravestone fragments.
NICHT MEHR VERSCHÜTTET (Buried No Longer), temporary exhibition, on until 19th April 2020 at Haus der Geschichte Österreich.

Surprisingly small, yet super complex. The ivory collection in the #kunsthistorischesmuseumwien dates back to the Habsburgs and testifies to the imperial roots of the collection. If you want to know the quick way to spot a Habsburg, pop over to Museumsandstuff.com and search for Habsburg. Spoiler alert ⚠ it’s the underbite that became more and more pronounced as the generations progressed.

Close up on a copper engraving “Temperance” (1560) by Phillip Galle after Bruegel. The detail and many concurrent stories happening in these pictures are mind-boggling. There is a one for each the deadly sins and the virtues too. Some of them are very NSFW (and instagram), but are at the same time amusing and satirical as well as quite hellish… On loan from the @albertinamuseum

The wildly popular #Breugel exhibition at the #Kunsthistorischesmuseum. Some great touches in the display of the engravings (for example) that allows visitors to get really face-to-face with the fine detail of the work, perfect height for 5'4" me, but would make them inaccessible to wheelchair users. The sheer number of people made the visit a little trying at times, despite time slots… Especially the number of guided tours; in only six rooms there must have been 7 or 8 groups of 15 people. But the selection of works on display was truly impressive, including the display of 4 of series of 6 seasonal paintings (1 is lost, 1 remains in New York), shown together for the first time in 350 years. The exhibition has been advertised as “once in a lifetime”, and that’s a fitting description, but go early.
