I don´t know how this machine does work. It´s found by me in a museum and it took my attention in the first moment when I entered the room.
The machine was built in 1794 by Johann Jeckel in Krumau (Cesky Krumlov) in Czech Republic.
The size is impressive: 250x130x240cm

Toulouse-Lautrec
Exhibition in the State Gallery Linz at the Upper Austrian State Museums
Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec (1864-1901) became famous for his provocative and theatrical depictions of Parisian nightlife in and around Montmarte.
The paintings and graphic works by this French artist have often been interpreted as illustrations of the time period from the turn of the century or, in regards to the circumstances of his selected settings, as works that have becoming increasingly significant because of the lighthearted circumstances in which they were created. From an artistic perspective, the exhibition highlights Toulouse-Lautrec’s unique compositions and focuses on little known facts as well as considering new aspects: the accurate portrayal and depiction of people in modern civilization captured in their public and personal lives.
The seventy works on display portray the artist not only as a perceptive observer of these encounters but also portray the perspective of a lone outsider, which presumably stems from his privileged upbringing in the French countryside and dealing with his physical afflictions.
Precisely 100 years after the first monographic exhibition of the artist in Austria, and on the occasion of Linz09 as the European Capital of Culture, his works will be presented in context together with such significant contemporaries as Gustav Klimt and Egon Schiele.

The largest church in Austria is situated in Linz – the New Cathedral (also called Mariendom or Maria-Empfängnis-Dom).
Beautiful glass windows decorate the cathedral, which was finished in 1924 and can accommodate 20,000 people. The sacred space is also fascinating. Mariendom is a haven of peace and an architectural masterpiece.
Today I visited this exciting building.
Inside I found many Christmas trees decorated with heart´s desires ,written by several peoples. So a forest of heart´s desires was created.
What a great idea…
I hope all heart´s desires will come true.
