While the town of Ebensee has a nice museum commemorating the Ebensee Concentration Camp…read more(Konzentrationslager Ebensee or KZ Ebensee), this is the actual site. After the war, the area was rezoned for a housing development and much of the camp is now family homes and gardens. However, some of the site remains along with a memorial wall. The museum in town is also on yelp and called "Zeitgeschichte Museum und KZ-Gedenkstätte Ebensee" and you should start there and then come visit the actual site. Its web site is http://www.memorial-ebensee.at/ There is no website for the site, but you can get lots of great info on wikipedia or at: http://en.tracesofwar.com/article/1287/Memorial-and-Cemetery-Concentration-Camp-Ebensee.htm There is not much parking or even great signage to get to the camp location, but it is worth a visit. There are also "Tunnels" you can visit that were dug by this camp's prisioners during the war to hide underground the V2 rocket production. The museum can tell you more.

You're going see nudity, in a creepy, not beautiful way, but somehow your eyes can't turn away. Cesky Krumlov is a small town, and on the outside this Art institute looked equally small...but its actually very large inside! The building is shockingly large inside, with 3 stories packed with art! Again, this isn't your typical art museum...be prepared to be shocked, wowed, disgusted, impressed, baffled, and mind blown. Those original early 20th century German Expressionists had some very unique perspectives on life. Can't describe this in words...so just look at my pictures I've posted...and I did not post the Rated R pics. 220CZK/$10 for entry, worth every penny for art lovers, or art likers such as myself.

Not what I expected but I came on free admission. Otherwise I would be disappointed that I did…read morenot get to see anything related to Schiele's work. Currently, there is a expressionist painter and sculptor/installation artist on display. The one section with Schiele's studio and memorabilia was closed. Check calendar before commiting.

Walhalla is one of those places that truly surprises you, standing here, high above the Danube…read moreRiver, this massive monument looks like a complete piece of ancient Greece transported right into Bavaria. Inspired by the Parthenon in Athens, although a little bit smaller, its architecture and attention to details are absolutely impressive. And boy, the staircase going down to the river with breathtaking views from the monument are outstanding, overlooking the Danube and the beautiful countryside around it. Just stay calm and meditate for a moment. Inside, there is plenty to explore and learn about German history, if you like, and the important historical figures honored here. King Ludwig I of Bavaria did great building Walhalla and given it to us, who enjoy it now. Definitely worth the trip and an easy five-star experience!

So you're chillaxin' in Bavaria on a very brisk, yet sunny Saturday afternoon and thinking to your…read moreself, "What should I do with myself today?" Then poof, the lightbulb not only comes on, but it explodes! I'll check out the Walhalla Museum that everyone has been raving about. Actually, there's a little hyperbole thrown in there. No one is raving about it. In fact, I think it's one of those awesome sites that are rarely mentioned. Which is just odd, because it's truly breathtaking! The views are amazing! The magnificence of the grand structure! All Roman Empire like reminiscent of a coliseum. It's seriously cool! Yes, there's an entrance fee to go inside, but if you just wanna soak up the view? Totally gratis! If you're in the area, you so wanna check this place out.

There is a TL;DR/Summary at the end…read more Somehow, I was expecting this place to be much shinier from the outside. The day was rather drab when I went, and the building didn't look particularly exciting either. Even as the day cleared up, the building did not become much shinier. It does look rather cool at night though. Went here with a group (guided tour) and was therefore not able to see the whole facility. I was, however, able to see the main exhibit and the deep space theater. --- Deep Space is cool in that they project on the floor and on the wall, and they do so in 8K resolution (with 3D projection onto the wall). However, I was unfortunately not particularity impressed with this "theater". First, since people are sitting on the floor, it seems the whole purpose of floor projection is at least partially defeated. Also, with the screen being flat, you do not get a fully immersive experience. Don't get me wrong, it was still wicked cool, and immersive enough that when I was watching the sports videos they were showing, my body was rocking a bit side to side as if to make adjustments (move my body) in the actual sport. Main exhibit was really cool in that they are demoing, or at least have examples of the lastest and greatest technology. Some of it is just really cool, like the exhibit where ricking your head side to side produces an image of an eye (you will see), some that is revolutionary in entertainment, medicine, IoT, or others. For instance, they had 3D printers, eye tracking, a robotic animal designed to keep people company who are in the hospital (especially those who are suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's). They also had lamps with personality, and virtual reality headsets. Two other exhibits I saw were simply informative. In one they discuss that many ways Facebook uses your information (you will want to delete it afterward), and one where you send a text to a number, it is printed and instantly shredded. However, it makes the comment that still, that text is stored on a node somewhere that it passed through before printing and shredding. I was expecting more interactive exhibits, or, rather more staff staffing the interactive exhibits. ---------- TL;DR/Summary: This is a museum of "technological" art. But, art that is not just for self-expression, but for changing the world!!!!! This place shines most on the inside. You will not find ancient technologies, or paintings, or yesterday's news. You will get to experience the latest and greatest in technology that is changing the world. You will get to interact with robots, see how accessible the world is/will be for those with disabilities, see the early stages of groundbreaking medical devices/achievements. You will see how technology in use right now is shaping your personal world (like Facebook's data usage)
