"lange nacht der museen"


once a year several bigger cities (such as vienna, linz, etc...)
are arranging a night where one can visit all participating museums
with only one ticket. 2003 i visited the museums in linz, this year
i planned to go to vienna with zombiequeen, since vienna has way
more museums than linz has. well, it turned out that this is a 
big disadvantage. the event starts at 18:00 and ends at 01:00,
so one has 5 hours to visit the museums you're interested in. since
we went there with several friends there were already 3 museums
that some of us wanted to visit. we started at the MAK ("museum
fuer angewandte kunst"/"museum of applied arts") taking a look
at an exhibition with focus on anime. there even were anime-
drawing courses, but this would have been too time consuming.
instead we decided to go to the "heindl schokolade museum"
("chocolate museum"). well it turned out that the shuttle-bus
takes 40 mins to get there. when we arrived there it would have
taken another 20mins until the next guided tour started. since
it already was late and we wanted to see many more exhibitions,
we decided to jump the bus back to town without seeing the
chocolade museum from inside (instead we had a glance through
big windows, giving an insight into the museum too). well,
back to the center of vienna again took 30mins. yuhu, 80mins
wasted for nothing!
since it was already 00:30 we took the next museum we saw. so
we visited the "naturhistorisches museum wien" ("natural history
museum"). there we had a quick look at the "vivarium", mostly
fishes and marine fauna. then we went on to the dinsoaur section
with loads of bones, skulls and other fossiled bodyparts. pretty
cool, actually.
well, all in all we had loads of fun this night, but vienna has
way too much museums. one can never make a lot of museums since
there's definitely not enough time. next year i will stay in linz
again, this time bringing my friends to linz, and giving them a
guide.
