Now,
if
you
have
ever
asked
me
whether
I
would
enjoy
a
certain
museum
in
Vienna
(the
capital
of
museums),
where
half
of
the
enormous
space
is
occupied
by
middle
centuries
knights’
armour,
and
the
other
half
-
ancient
musical
instruments
-
I
would
probably
have
diverted
my
steps
to
some
of
the
other
more
famous
museums
such
as
Albertina
or
Belvedere.
And
this,
I
would
have
missed
one
of
the
most
fascinating
and
extraordinary
rare
exhibitions!
I
am
so
glad
a
friend
of
our
recommended
the
Weltmuseum!
It
is
very
close
to
the
Vienna
opera,
and
yet
-
not
as
popular,
strangely
enough.
Everything
about
this
museum
is
extraordinary:
starting
with
the
building,
the
decorum,
the
luxury,
the
curating
of
the
art,
the
space,
the
plentiful
information,
the
fascinating
exhibits!
The
armour
part
of
the
museum
shows
armour
from
different
military
groups,
from
different
centuries.
Most
interesting
are
the
full
body
armours
-
the
variety
of
design,
the
skilful
handwork
and
the
quality
of
art
even
in
what
was
then
a
soldier
uniform
is
marvellous.
Even
more
fascinating
g
were
the
10-15rooms
of
musical
instrument
starting
from
the
very
first
rough
wooden
bows
and
pipes
and
going
through
all
the
innovations
of
the
15-19
century
of
all
music
groups
instruments
-
from
keyboards
to
strings
to
woodwinds.
One
can
even
play
on
a
few
of
the
well-preserved
keyboard
instruments.
One
can
see
what
the
piano
looks
and
sounded
like
in
Bach’s,
Hayden’s,
Beethoven’s
and
Chopin’s
times.
There
is
so
much
information
about
the
variety
of
constructions,
systems,
manufacturers,
composers
and
performers,
one
feels
better
educated
at
the
museum
then
attending
a
one
year
course
on
the
subject.
Highly
recommended!!
