…a little 7th to 9th century doll tunic…

2019/12/28

Have you ever wondered what kids played with centuries ago? Pictures of toys from the very last centuries are available in quite an abundance but they get more and more rare the further you go back in time. Therefore you might very well imagine my great joy when I found this lovely little doll tunic from the 7th to 9th century on display at the Bode Museum.

Museum visit: Vienna 1450 – The Master of Lichtenstein Castle

2014/02/20

I finally made it to the exhibition “Der Meister von Schloss Lichtenstein und seine Zeit” In English: The Master of Lichtenstein Castle and his time. The “Belvedere” started this exhibition at the 08th of November last year and this weekend, at the 23rd of February, this exhibition will close its doors again.
