01-View from my window, Lindner am Belvedere, Vienna. You're looking at a driveway, wall + fence, and a church cloister. The hotel room was a decent size and very nicely furnished in modern. However, non-smokers should INSIST on a non-smoking room, which are only on the 7th floor and have lovely views.

12-Holocaust Museum, 2000. The design is a library. Doors have no handles; you can't get in (ever). Books are "shelved" from the inside, so you see the open edges and can't (ever) see the titles.
13-Holocaust museum, JudenPlatz
14-Holocaust Museum, JudenPlatz. I got the design info from listening to this "City Segway Tours" guide, not from my guidebook. Jewish Museum (closed today) is in the niche in the far background.
