14.000 Souvenirs
When Franz Ferdinand takes a trip around the world, he is guaranteed to have excess baggage. From his travels through India, Java, Australia, China, Japan and North America, he brought back 14,000 souvenirs. Most of them are now part of the collection of the Weltmuseum. A separate room is dedicated to the traveling archduke, and in addition to his objects, there are wonderful artifacts from lost and unknown worlds.

Fantasy world of an empress
This gift from her husband, Emperor Franz Josef, was intended to encourage Sisi to stay in Vienna more often. The emperor even had an escape route built for her from her bedroom to the Lainzer Tiergarten so that she could avoid the court staff - even this could not motivate her to stay.The Wien Museum has put together an exciting exhibition all about the unhappy empress and her wanderlust.
