Imperial Palace

For several centuries, the Imperial Palace of Hofburg was the center of the Habsburg Empire. For this reason, the significantly designed Sisi Museum (Sisi Museum), together with the Imperial Aposentos (Kaiserappartements) with its historical furniture and decoration and the Court's Plateau (Silberkammer), offer you a historical view of the Court's tradition and daily life. The Imperial Palace was the residence of the Habsburg Dynasty for more than 600 years. Over the centuries, the buildings of the original castle have been constantly modified and expanded to become the complex of 18 wings and 2,600 rooms that is today. In addition to the residential apartments of each of the family members, the Imperial Hofburg Palace housed dance rooms, rooms for service, several kitchens and the imperial silver and table service room. Today, most of the Palace hosts the offices of the President of the Republic, several ministers, administrative departments and other museums. However, on the wing of the Imperial Chancellery and in the Amalia Residence, visitors can still get a view of the Imperial Court's lifestyle, as they include the Sisi Museum, the Imperial Supports and the Court's Parity. Since 1994 the Sisí Museum has been located in the Stephan apartments, later called Archduke Stephan Viktor. In the six rooms that form the museum we can find numerous personal objects that in the day belonged to Empress Elisabeth and that illustrate the true personality of the so often misunderstood empress. The significantly designed exhibition rooms, created by the renowned Professor Rolf Langenfass, are inspired by the poetry of the monarch and illustrate how the cheerful young woman, Sisí, became a restless, inaccessible and melancholic woman; they did not want to perpetuate the myth of Sisi but to leave the clichés and present a realistic image on this fascinating character, to discover Sisi from two facets: myth and reality. Thus, here you will discover the empress's rebellion against the life of the Court and its escape to the cult of beauty, to the exaggerated delgadez, to extreme sports performance and to exalted and melancholic poetry. The more than 300 objects exposed in the museum include umbrellas, fans, veils, boxes, gloves, their beauty recipes, portraits, copies of their diamond stars, copies of the coronation jewels as queen of Hungary, their gymnastics apparatus, the funeral mask of the empress and the very lime that was used to kill her, which is usually kept under key. Other objects include the reconstruction of his farewell dress the night before his departure from Munich to Vienna in 1854, and an accessible replica of the luxurious imperial car, as well as all kinds of prints, coins or other souvenirs and objects related to the Sisi trilogy of Ernst Marischka, which made it a myth. In 2006 the Sisí Museum acquired the Klaus Collection, of approximately 240 objects currently presented at this exhibition. Other objects such as their christening dresses or their milk teeth are only exposed on special occasions. In 2009 the Sisí Museum was closed by renovation and partial remodeling. The sample was extended to include some spectacular objects, such as the reconstruction of the Hungarian coronation dress, the black coat used to cover the empress after his murder or the mourning jewels among others.
