All About Royal Families

The Museum of Natural History (in German: Naturhistorisches Museum) was opened om August 10th. 1889. This museum has a royal connection and so a great history for me. Emperor Franz Joseph I (husband of Sisi) ordered to build a Ringstrasse in Vienna and he asked for a place were the private collection of different members of the House of Habsburg could be exhibited for public. On the Maria Theresien Platz in Vienna a beautiful building, almost a palace was created. The architect was Karl Hasenauer (who won a competition). The construction works started in 1871. Me before the Museum of Natural History in Vienna The collection was bought in 1750 by Emperor Francis II (in German: Franz). He was the husband of Maria Theresia (who actually ruled the areas of the House of Habsburg).   See my page the House of Habsburg on top of my blog or on this link .  inside the Museum of Natural History in Vienna Each year, over 500.000 tourists visits this museum.

In June 2015, I made a lot of blog posts about Napoleon Bonaparte, his generals and his opponents and finally I got some pictures of Waterloo itself and of the reenactment of the Battle. So, I wanted to share some lovely pictures with you, which are taken by my mom.

Of course there is a new beer called: Waterloo. On this link you'll discover more.
