Overview

The building of the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienn a on Vienna’s Ringstrasse was planned and built specifically as a museum designed to house the Imperial Collections of the Habsburgs. In the late 19th century Emperor Franz Joseph created a magnificent setting for the treasures collected over 600 years by the emperors and other patrons of the House of Habsburg. The stunning entrance hall with its grand staircase welcomes our guests and is the starting point for an experience of artworks spanning five millennia. People all over the world appreciate our Museum and its unique art treasures as an imperial Gesamtkunstwerk. The Kunsthistorisches Museum also comprises the Weltmuseum Wien on the opposite side of Vienna’s Ringstrasse as well as the Imperial Treasury Vienna and the Imperial Carriage Museum Vienna. Imperial Treasury Vienna The Imperial Treasury Vienna takes you on a journey through more than a millennium of stories and secrets, a journey full of discoveries and insights, to the signs of power and the evidence of myths. A journey through time to the Burgundian heritage, to the Holy Roman Empire and the Austrian Empire - and above all to the imperial splendor of the House of Habsburg. The objects kept in the secular treasury are not only among the masterpieces of art history, but are also monuments of more than a thousand years of European history. In addition to personal memorabilia of members of the imperial family, you will find the incomparable treasure of royal insignia and symbols of honor here. The Spiritual Treasury contains the precious liturgical utensils, relics and vestments used and collected at the imperial court. Imperial Carriage Museum Vienna The exquisite fleet on display at the Imperial Carriage Museum Vienna located in the grounds of Schönbrunn Palace is an opportunity to travel through both time and Austria’s history. Join such illustrious personalities as the Empress Maria Theresa, Napoleon and the Emperor Franz Joseph and journey through their eventful life as illustrated by their state coaches and carriages. The prize exhibit is undoubtedly the baroque Imperial Carriage, surrounded by the Habsburgs’ other exquisite carriages, comfortable touring coaches, and quirky children’s carriages. One of the highlights is our ‘Sisi Trail’, which features not only the Empress’s own carriages but also exceptional cult objects such as her only preserved saddle, her ‘riding chapel’, and magnificent original dresses.
