373. Slow progress

TMW - Technisches Museum Vienna

Technology museums, wonderful, and the Vienna example looked very promising. Hit it at three thirty, two and a half hours before closing and knew I was doomed from the start. Four floors to see, almost completed the ground floor, sprinted the second and third in the five minutes before closing didn't get to the aviation top floor.

before departing
This took at least fifteen minutes for me to absorb
Cutaway of a retired locomotive
Fantastic victorian engineering
Restored royal carrage
Beautiful lathes and mills
Still had the smell
Nothing bolted down - no quakes here 
Cherished – Praised – Unwanted Exhibition
Each thing had an excerpt from the original owner 
Amazed how much of this gear was still in use when I was at school.
I is old 
Lovely display of belt driven tools
Watts Steam Engine
Model of an obelisk being erected
in St Peters Square - amazing
This crucible was massive
Fantastic steel works display of which I understood little
