Hi
One of my occasional visits, hope anybody who remembers me from the old days is well?
I'm taking a punt 'mane forum' is the place for this one..
A couple of weeks ago I was lucky enough to visit Vienna with Mrs Merlin, and went to the Sisi Museum, which I cannot praise highly enough. It's a very well curated journey though the life of this very remarkable woman who was about just so much more than her hair! They also have all three of the Winterhalter Portraits of her, including THE one you see reproduced everywhere and which is just so much more amazing than any reproduction: I must have spend 20 minutes looking at it. The sheer technical brilliance of the painting alone is breathtaking, let alone the overall impact...and she was just so beautiful...sigh...
Anyway, I took some photos, which I thought people might like to see. Because of the faff of trying to do an online inline thing I've created an album in my profile area called Sisi Museum and you can see the three wig displays of her hairstyles, and the accompanying information cards there. If anybody would be interested in seeing any of the photos of her dresses say so and I'll upload some..
