Sisi Museum - Hofburg Vienna

Description

Sisi Museum

The Sisi Museum paints a many-faceted picture of Empress Elisabeth. Only here in this ‘museum of emotions’ can her mystique be truly appreciated and the secrets of this fascinating personality be illuminated.

Imperial Apartments

The Imperial Apartments were once occupied by Austria’s most famous ruling couple. The nineteen rooms comprising the official and residential suite occupied by Emperor Franz Joseph and his wife Sisi are furnished in authentic period detail and convey an impression of nineteenth-century courtly tradition and imperial lifestyle.

Please note that, due to the redesign currently ongoing at the Sisi Museum, some visitor routes through the exhibition have been modified. However, despite these adaptations, the sense of "Sisi's aura as a living experience" still retains all its fascination, and the many personal items belonging to the Empress, impressively recounting the story of this exceptional figure of her time, remain on display in their entirety.
