When we think of Greek inscriptions, we probably picture large texts carved into stone. However, they could also appear in a completely different light: we can see them on Greek vases, where they were lightly (or rather harshly) carved into the upper surface, or written vividly with brushstrokes. Some inscriptions stand out clearly from the background, while others are difficult to read, blurred, or hidden. A distinction is made between painted and engraved inscriptions. Engraved inscriptions were usually added to the vase after firing and had little to do with the image on the object. In addition to owner inscriptions or gift inscriptions, the exhibition also includes a wide variety of marks or symbols. Even customer orders were recorded here!

I was only coming once, so the Vienna Golden Hall was a must-see. The seats were great, right in front of the stage. The audience arrived very early, many in suits and formal wear. Because of the cold weather, I wore a pink leather jacket that night, but they didn&#39;t ask me to store it when I redeemed my ticket. The performance was fantastic, but unfortunately, photography and videography weren&#39;t allowed. So it will definitely be a memorable experience.

The palace is dedicated to Oriental classical architecture, such as Chinese-style rooms with inlaid purple, black, ivory and Japanese-style rooms decorated with mud gold and paint. The interior decorations are also coordinated in Oriental style, with ceramics on the walls and ceilings. The garden is large.

Definitely allocate at least 3-5 hours; you simply won&#39;t have enough time to see everything.

My favorite section was the paintings and sculptures. The furniture, tableware, and royal decorations, however, are quite different from those in domestic museums.

My complaint is the audio guide; at least half of the artwork numbers couldn&#39;t be read. Refund! Haha.

Everything else was great. The interior design is definitely worth taking lots of photos.
