Vienna Furniture Museum

Description

A unique exhibition of furniture ranging from the Baroque, Biedermeier and Historicist eras to the Vienna Modern movement and contemporary Austrian furniture design.

Still regarded as something of an insider’s tip, this museum with a display area of 4,000 m² allows the visitor to stroll through past eras of imperial furnishing styles. Alongside exhibits of sublime magnificence and beauty visitors also encounter many a curious object – for example, a large collection of imaginatively designed commodes.

One of the most popular sections is the permanent exhibition Sissi in the Movies – Imperial Furniture for the Sets.

Last but not least, the Vienna Furniture Museum also focuses on the development of furnishing styles outside the Viennese court. From Biedermeier to the present day all eras are represented, with designs by outstanding Austrian artists such as Otto Wagner, Josef Hoffmann and Margarete Schütte-Lihotzky.

SPECIAL EXHIBITION - German Design 1949–1989: Two Countries, One History

From 13 September 2023 to 14 January 2024, the exhibition "German Design 1949–1989: Two Countries, One History" will offer a comparative selection of design from East and West Germany and explore ideological and aesthetic differences as well as parallels and interrelations between East and West. Exhibits range from iconic pieces of furniture and lamps to graphic, industrial, and interior design to fashions, textiles, and personal ornaments.
