I'm sure all of you followers have some kind of jewelry made from Swarovski crystals or have at least heard of Swarovski. But do you know the true creativity, the playful side, the artistic half of the Swarovski company? You need to see Swarovski Kristall Welten(translated from German, it means "Crystal Worlds"), the stunning exhibition of the company that makes the world go round. Each exhibition is stunning and unique in it's own crystalline way. For instance, one exhibit is a crystal dome, another is a giant crystal kaleidoscope, and so on. Some exhibits have less to do with crystals than others. One exhibit has robotic manequin legs walking in space. You need to see the website(I must comment on their website) to see all the little details of every exhibit; I would take up a lot of your time if I were to post a complete list!
There's something for everyone: if you just care about buying crystals, there's a Swarovski shop, if you like making your own exhibitions, you can make jewelry and wire sculptures with wire, string, and colorful beads, and of course, if you like the weird, mysterious, the rich, and the modern, there's the museum. It has attracted over 900,000,000 visitors by date. A giant head that is made out of hedges and who's mouth is actually a fountain lures wandering tourists into it's location in Innsbruck, Austria, a little more than an hour away from Munich, a great city. Whether you're rich or not, you're sure to love this place!
p.s. This was meant to be Saturday's post, but we accidently spilled a glass of water on our computer(advise to followers: NEVER put a glass of water anywhere near your computer!) and you know how electronics do not go with water. We just got a new keyboard(50$) and I was then able to blog.
