Changes in the Sisi Museum

Changes at the Sisi Museum

From 29rd March, 2011 the Empress' games collection and box of paints will be put back on display in the "The Girl" room. Visitors will also be delighted by her chemise and the charming cream silk children's ankle boots with embroidered imperial crown.

However, the highlight of the textiles display is a brown lacy shawl which was once owned by the Empress. Like so many textiles intended for personal use, this item of clothing has passed through many hands. Passed on by Countess Horty, Obersthofmeisterin (Mistress of the Robes) to Empress Zita, the shawl was then privately owned, and was finally acquired by the Schloß Schönbrunn Kultur- und Betriebsges.m.b.H. in 1999.
