Must have been a dark-ish day outside that the State rooms at the Albertina palace were fully illuminated.

The colour and mystuque in this corner is so captivating, I am having another take at it.

The State rooms

Monday, May 10th, 2010

Last week I was lucky enough to spend a few days in Vienna. Albertina gallery was the last on my list and about halfway through it I was ready to give up, after running through a couple of other major museums in the last two days. Only turning around the corner (the museum is quite a maze) I found these amazing rooms in opulent period decor, housing museum’s most precious drawings by Michelangelo and Durer, I got my second breath. The light coming in through the windows into this blue and gold room was just amazing.
