Now that I call a cosy museum. The photo shows the garden of the Folk Life Museum in Graz. Yes, there are hammocks below the trees! The museum tells about social and cultural changes up to the present.
Eggenberg Palace in Graz

Peacock at Schloss Eggenberg
Action! On my way back home from the rose mound of Schloss Eggenberg, a peacock blocked my way. I tried to frighten him by looking squarely into his eyes – but he had so many of them! So I went back on a different path.
Mercury at Schloss Eggenberg
This statue of God Mercury represents one of several planets in the Planetary Garden of Eggenberg Castle (Schloss Eggenberg) in Graz. Mercurius was one of the major gods in Roman mythology.

On the grounds of Eggenberg Palace in Graz
The first stop of my museum trip featuring the locations of the Universalmuseum Joanneum: On the grounds of Schloss Eggenberg (Eggenberg Palace).
Rainbow in the streets of Graz
Amazing! Next to a construction site, I saw this rainbow (bottom left) in the streets of Graz. It was caused by a drizzle, with which the dust of demolition work had been tied. So I had the chance to walk through a rainbow for the first time.
Exhibition ‘5 Farben’ at the MUWA
Tonight, I visited the opening of an exhibition with a work by the German artist Hasso von Henninges named “5 Farben” (5 colours). In this work, the artist displayed all possible combinations if you have combined 5 different colours in paintings made of 3 colours (example).
Regina Pacis in Bonn
Wilhelm Rottermondt created this statue of the “Regina Pacis”. In English, this title translates to Our Lady Queen of Peace. You find this sculpture in a niche on the facade of the University of Bonn, also known as Rhenish Friedrich Wilhelm University of Bonn.
View from the Stahlwelt in Linz
This pic is a view from the roof of the Stahlwelt. The Stahlwelt is an exhibition hall promoting products made of steel. The small hill in the middle reminds me of the Erzberg, a mining area for ore in the Austrian state of Styria.
Inside the Stahlwelt of Linz
It took this photo inside the exhibition hall of the Stahlwelt in Linz. This is a hall with an excellent exhibition about steel and products made of steel. Well, I am part of this photo. Can you see me?
At the Val Canale in Italy
On my way from Udine to the Austrian border I took an ordinary road through the Val Canale instead of the motorway and enjoyed a splendid view of the Alps. In some areas of Europe it is really better to drive slowly instead of racing along the motorways, isn’t it?
