FOR HER: ROOMS FOR WOMEN

Focus


Even in imperial times, women at court knew how to assert their personal preferences and set the style. At the same time, women's interior design reflected and reinforced, but also challenged, their social roles.

Für sie: Zimmer für Frauen

Even in imperial times, women at court knew how to assert their personal preferences and set the style. At the same time, women's interior design reflected and reinforced, but also challenged, their social roles.

A tour of the museum’s permanent exhibition gives visitors the opportunity to discover furnishings and ensembles that were specifically made for women – from Maria Theresa‘s love of East Asia to Maria Ludovica’s Egyptian Cabinet and Empress Elisabeth’s furniture from the Hermes Villa to Lucy Rie’s flat.

"Housewife, artist, tomboy" – Hedy Lamarr 110

Special Exhibition


Hedy Lamarr was an exceptional personality: multi-faceted, clever, creative, the most beautiful woman in the world. A Hollywood icon endowed with an extraordinary inventive spirit. Glamor and partying weren't her cup of tea. She preferred to stay at home.
