Glass vessels and sculpture fascinate me. Over 15,000 pieces are on display inside the Hotel Wilder Mann, famous in the 19th c. where Elisabeth II, Empress of Austria, stayed for a week in 1862. The collection is from Bavaria, Bohemia, Austria and Silesia and comprises glass from 1650 to 1950 and features Biedermeier, Art Nouveau (Jugendstil), and Art Deco (Modern) styles.
