Today was Easter Monday and our last full day in Vienna. The only attraction that we had yet to visit was Schloß Belvedere, a palace that has been turned into an art museum. Getting there was pretty easy: the bus that stopped outside our apartment took us there directly.Belvedere is divided into upper and lower Belvedere. Upper Belvedere houses a large Gustav Klimt collection, and visitors flock to see The Kiss, similar to the throng in front of the Mona Lisa at the Louvre.
After lunch at the cafe in Upper Belvedere, we let the kids burn off some energy in the gorgeous garden leading to the Lower Belvedere. The Lower Belvedere is hosting a special exhibition on Alfons Mucha, a commercial and decorative artist. Jocelyn did not seem to like the art so much, but her eyes lit up as soon as we entered The Power of Ornament exhibition in the Orangery of the Lower Belvedere. She is more an avant-garde type.
Before we returned to the apartment, we had...yes, you guessed it...more pastries for afternoon tea.
