The Vienna Diaries~ The Chocolate Museum

Capres Willow






One of my best friends in Vienna, Iyana is from Alabama. She is a glowy, bubbly person with a heart of gold. I had never met such a thoughtful and caring soul... and she had midterms! In the UK at least, midterms don't really seem to exist. Maybe it's the schooling I've come into contact with which has meant I'm lucky and escaped the dreaded midterm exams. Iyana, being from the USA has had to deal with this shit all her life. I wanted to treat her to something really lovely that would help her distress and what better than chocolate...


The first week I met Iyana, she had mentioned a chocolate museum in Vienna that she had wanted to visit and myself being a lover of chocolate (or just food in general) thought it was a great idea. The conversation faded and a month and a bit on I told her to get dressed as we were going out... well, it didn't happen quite like that but Iyana still had no idea what was going on (she claims hahaha). We caught the S-Bahn to Praterstern, only a 3/4 minute ride from our student accommodation and then walked in the brisk wind to Prater, where the museum was located.


All made of chocolate! 

















Even though the chocolate museum felt like an outdated chocolate wonderland that probably had it's high time in 1980's  Iyana and I still had such a lovely time and it felt good knowing I have this wonderful lady in my life... I appreciate you girl! Here for you anytime, anywhere <3

Peace & Love,
Willow

Kunstmuseum Luzern

Capres Willow



The Kunstmuseum was one of the smaller activities I done whilst in Switzerland, however it was least to be forgotten. I'm very used to the museums and art galleries in London so being in a central European city really opened my eyes to how fun art can be. I don't have a lot of experience- really I consider myself a novice when it comes to these kinds of things however I did feel the installations at the Kunstmuseum were shying away from the classics and rather taking a stand in a modern age for contemporary art.

Sadly I did not take down the names for these pieces as I did not plan on writing a piece about this museum. I'm sorry! I shall do better next time... I do however commend the artists involved and ask anyone who knows anything about the pictures below, please leave a comment!

Please note, the photographs are in order of how I experienced them!










Peace&Love,
Willow
