AUSTRIA: Concord’s Young family — Jimmy, Jim and Jane, behind the camera — are recently back from Vienna, where they enjoyed the historical and cultural sites along the Ringstrasse. “One of the grandest and most beautiful sites was the Kunsthistoriches Museum (pictured), a palatial fine arts museum crowned by an octagonal dome,” Jane says. “In addition to the paintings, sculptures and artifacts, there was an exhibit of Around the World in 80 Coins. The museum provides a pictorial brochure with a self-guided walking tour of highlights that makes viewing an easy, satisfying and rewarding pleasure.”
