Friday Flashback (on a Thursday*): Treasure on Display

Photo: Liechtensteiner Vaterland
Prince Hans-Adam II and Princess Marie as well as Hereditary Prince Alois, Prince Max and the late Prince Wenzel pose for a picture in front of the Golden Carriage of Prince Joseph Wenzel. The photo was taken during the opening of an exhibition about the life and work of Prince Joseph Wenzel I of Liechtenstein (1696-1772) which was opened in July 1990. The exhibition was the first and (as far as I know) only time the carriage was on display in the Principality. It can now be seen at the Sala Terrena of the Gartenpalais in Vienna.

  2. Indeed, real "competition" for baby Guillaume who was born 38 weeks and a few days after his parents' wedding in 1981.
