The museum in Stift in the small village of Melk in Austria, Europe is adorned with elegant pieces of art and collectibles. The Stift abbey was first founded in 1089 when Leopold II, Margrave of Austria gave one castle to the Benedectine monks from the Lambach Abbey. The abbey is in excellent shape and is very spectacular to see.The museum is divided into eleven rooms with each room telling a different story in relation to this historic abbey and the religious past of the area. This particular room tells the saga of how man reflected himself in a beautiful world and was deeply happy in his faith and this gave him support and strength.A picture of these incredible rooms in this museum in Melk, Austria are worth a thousand words but to actually view them in person is a whole different tale.Museum of Stift Melk, Monastery, Melk, Austria, Europe. UNESCO World Heritage Site.
