  • Palazzo Doria Pamphilj

    After strolling around Monti I somehow ended up at Via del Corso, the shopping area in Rome, and while I was looking around for some caffé, I found myself at the entrance of the Palazzo Doria Pamphilj. I had no idea what kind of museum it was, I just liked the pictures shown at the entrance and the inner courtyard looked so peaceful and beautiful. The ticket bought itself.

    Walking through another courtyard and up some stairs I entered the first of the state rooms – Palazzo Doria Pamhilj is still in private ownership and houses the large art collection assembled by the families Doria, Pamphilj, Landi and Aldobrandini starting in the 16th century. Besides the gallery it is possible to visit a part of the apartement and the family chapel.

  • Photo Playground

    When I was in Berlin this spring I really wanted to visit the Olympus Playground, but too many others had the same idea, the queue went around the whole building. But lucky me the Olympus Playground came to Vienna!

    At the entrance one can choose to borrow a camera, I took an Olympus Pen as I´ve been dying to try those. They give you a short introduction to how to use the came and you´re ready to get started. My favourite part was propably the room where ones movements are transformed to an audio tone frequency and somehow shown at the wall – the “Resonant Grid”. Try it – it´s fun!

    All pictures inside the Playground were taken with an Olympus Pen (I forgot the exact model, but it´s an awesome camera!). I definately will visit again, the Playground will be open until Dec 19th.

    When Dürer meets Teresa!

    During a Dürer exhibition at Albertina this pink reconstruction of Dürers young hare was sitting on the roof over Albertina Platz and after that he found a new home next to the Opera House.
