Vienna - Schatzkammer (Imperial Treasury)

The Schatzkammer is the Treasury and holds the crown jewels, 1000 years worth of jewels.  We could only spend 1.5 hours here, so we could look but not read.  Well, never mind about the reading. It was mostly in German.






Entrance to the Treasury

Crowns from days. Love the red!

Regal capes and tassels

Not your every day dinnerware.

Nice pin!

Jewels, jewels and more jewels.

I liked this turquoise color.

Statues and church.
Each team had an outfit!
Fine work. Sorry about the blurry picture.

Detail work on a tapestry.
This piece was beautiful.

Close up on one of the sections.

Real close to see the detail work.


This is the view of the overall piece.

Tiny stiches and tiny pearls and beads.

Very detailed.  I was mesmerized by this!

A neckpiece.

Close view.
Nice museum.  Make sure and get a combination ticket and see several of the museums.
