David Whitley ditches the wedding cake architecture and tourist traps to find the spots in Vienna that the locals like. Introduction to Vienna There tends to be a certain mindset amongst people visiting Vienna. It’s the same mindset that sees people serve up brussel sprouts for Christmas dinner, even when it has been established for years that no-one around the table likes them. Vienna is seen as the obligatory roughage of buttoned-up fustiness between lashings of heady fun in Berlin, Prague, Krakow and Budapest – a place to take your dose of classical music, largely tedious Habsburg history and prissily elegant wedding cake architecture.

After centuries in which the Church was the only customer for any kind of manuscript, suddenly the aristocracy and the newly created universities became interested in books. The most prominent example of this development is the Evangeliary of Johannes von Troppau dating from 1368, the gold and silver binding of which is also the leitmotif of this exhibition. _ is illuminated manuscript, commissioned by Duke Albrecht III (1365–1395), is seen as the founding codex of the Imperial Court Library and, for the first time after many years, is being shown again to the public at the start of this exhibition, before being replaced by a facsimile at the beginning of December for reasons of conservation.
