Today was another day of exploration. We started off at the AlbertinaMuseum which houses many art galleries along with the Habsbrug Staterooms. there is anew temporary exhibit by Edvard Munch, Love, Death and Lonliness. he is a Norwegian artist, a bit dark and one of his most famous works is pictured, The Scream. We were also able to see many other art works by Monet, picasso from Impressonism to classical modernism. They also had some great black and white phtographic collections. 
Then we moved on to the Opera House. We were able to catch a guided tours since it is the only way to see the Opera House without going to the opera. most of this building has been refurbished as it was bombed out during WW2 This is one of the few original areas with the busts of many famous composers. It is now an intermission hall. Pretty nice way to spend intermission.
BeLow is a picture of the actual hall which seats about 1800 and also has standing room for another 500 so it is affordable for all with standing tickets starting at 3€. The performances change nearly every night so the great amount of costumes approx 2000 have to be stored across the street. Same with the scenery... It was all pretty amazing and hard to imagine.
Even with all this amazing culture... One must shop and dress to impress. There are many high end stores along with some of our typical.. Such as Claire's and H and M... The window sets are pretty cool! Needless to say, didn't shop in any!
