Yesterday, as part of my Central European Lit and Identity course I was fortunate enough to attend Vienna's National Treasury. The Treasury is part of the Hasbsurg Empire's Palace in the middle of the city, just inside of where the city walls used to stand erect. The Treasury features items from the Hasbsurg family's riches such as crowns, scepters, robes, painting, jewelry, and old religious relics. Some of those items are pictured below:

 |
| Some more bling bling |
 |
| A 'Unicorn's" Horn |
 |
| This is what Mighty Python was looking for? Pretty disappointing if you ask me! |
 |
| A couple relics: Spear of Destiny (left) and a piece of the cross (right). |
 |
| A crib fit only for a king, seriously. |

| As my friend Sally pointed out, this is obviously a Christmas Tree skirt |
*Once again, I apologize for the poor picture quality. These were taken from my iPod. I really do need to get a legit camera!
