Day five: Wien - ZOOM Kindermuseum and (part of) the Ring

We visited the ZOOM Kindermuseum in the MuseumsQuartier in the morning. Since it is Good Friday today, we made a reservation for the kids to take part in the Erzähl' mir was vom Tod ("Let's talk about Death") program, originally developed by Das FEZ-Berlin. It is a series of exhibits and hands-on activity for kids to understand aging, death and legacy. The kids even mixed a longevity drink (with camomile, lemon drops and water).


We had lunch near the MuseumsQuartier and spent about an hour on the Ring, a boulevard that goes around the old town. We did not go around the whole ring, only about a quarter of it. But we saw the Parlament (Austrian Parliament), the Rathaus (City Hall), and Burgtheater (National Theater). Since it is a holiday today, we didn't get to see the inside of these magnificent buildings.



After this short stroll, we returned to the apartment to give the kids some rest (it has been a few long days). More pictures from today can be found here.
