The Austrian Folk Art Museum has a humble atmosphere that is far removed from the grandeur of the other museums and galleries in Vienna. The rooms are a little dusty, some absolutely crammed with bulky items of furniture like a storeroom or warehouse, but amongst all sorts of farming tools are some fascinating and beautiful items. Here are a few of my favourites, including puppets, a maypole, cast iron reliefs and a kind of green-man mask.
