Day 15 - 05.08.2023 Ars Electronica and Mariendom Linz in the Rain

More rain... it has been raining all night and there is no sign of it changing for the day. So, we looked for rain-friendly alternatives that are also suitable for children.

First stop, Ars Electronica. Unfortunately, it was not just our idea and we had to queue at the ticket counter. First, we went to the children's laboratory where we looked at a tardigrade and a wheel animalcule under the microscope, feeding on algae. Then we had a crafting break for Juliane in the crafting corner, before going to the Deep Space family show. We traveled through rivers, flying carpets, and took a trip to the sun, moon, and Jupiter in space. Jupiter has 95 moons today. A journey there would take about 40 years. Martin then went to see the 'Mona Lisa' presentation and was impressed. Meanwhile, we looked at a 'solo' playing piano and other sound objects with AI. On the lower floor, there were other interesting objects, such as painting and translating into cats, translating silhouettes into mountains, and living portraits, etc.

Afterwards, we strolled through the city center to Mariendom. This was also very impressive and we could even enter without a ticket.

For dinner, we went to Dornacher Stubin, where there was a regulars' table, but we still got a seat and had a delicious meal.
