August 1, 2008
Sisi, once again, on the spotlight. This time, the Austrian Empress for almost fifty years is the main attraction in the Art History museum in Vienna, the well known Kunsthistorisches Museum, with an exhibition that includes portrates of the Monarch, carriages, jewels and several of her belongings
Under the title “Trailing Sisi”, the Viennese exhibition has, as star object, the carriage in which the Empress entered the Austrian Capital for the first time, the vehicle driven during her wedding with the Emperor Francisco Jose, the Imperial gold car in which she travelled to be crowned Queen of Hungary, or the buggy in which she moved to Geneva hours before she got murdered.
Together with these magnificent carriages from the 19th Century, you can find portrates , pictures and other unique personal belongings, like the exuberant necklace made of white silk embroidered with gold she wore on her wedding day, or her personal riding chair, she was considered the best horsewoman in Europe. Another jewel is the black dress designed for her by the Viennese designer Fanny Scheiner in 1878.
The exhibition will be open until the 30th of October in the Schönbrunn Palace in the Austrian Capital.
The tour, throughout Sisi´s life is an exceptional excuse to visit the permanent collection at the same museum, which has many more art works by Canaletto, Caravaggio, Bruegel the old, Van Dyck, Rembrandt, Vermeer, Poissin and Velázquez, along many others.
