While in Innsbruck we went to the Swarovski Kristallwelten (Crystal World). We expected a museum type of environment filled with beautiful crystal displays. We were definitely in for a surprise. The best way to describe Crystal World is an abstract art museum with a few crystals. It was certainly very different than we expected. One of my favorite things that we saw (and was more in line with our expectations) was a Christmas tree made completely of crystals and designed by Alexander McQueen. It was stunning (the picture does not do it justice). The stairs and walls were also stunning filled with crystals. Another favorite (and again more of what we thought we would see) was a collection of landmarks made completely of Swarovski crystals. There was a replica of the Taj Mahal, the Eiffel Tower and pyramids in Egypt. The rest of the sights were very abstract and odd.
