The Austrians fascinate me no end.

Their motto could have been make love not war.

Marie Antoinette was a Hapsburg who of course became Queen of France.

Her mother is one of my favorite people in history-- Empress Maria Thérèa.

This house was known to collect and commission the finest art objects.

They had discernment in spades.

Exciting!
