The court on the move
In 1747 Maria Theresa appointed the first Inspector of Court Chattels, who was responsible for the inventorying, maintenance and transport of the holdings of imperial furnishings. He was also in charge of the logistics for the annual hunting excursions and sojourns of the Viennese court at their various summer residences. Highlights of this part of the collection are the travelling thrones.

Workshop
The Workshop Room is dedicated to the trades involved in furniture production: cabinet-making, upholstery, gilding and metalworking.

Bentwood Furniture
Michael Thonet was one of the pioneers of modern design. A master cabinet-maker, he left his home town of Boppard am Rhein in Germany and settled in Vienna, where he patented his bentwood process. At first he used the bentwood process to make chairs, later producing tables, rocking chairs and children’s furniture.

The Vienna Modern movement
The furniture design of the Viennese Modern movement around 1900 is one of the highlights of the collection. On display are designs by Otto Wagner for the Postal Savings Bank, furniture by Josef Hoffmann for the State Printing Works made at the Wiener Werkstätte, and the very first dining room suite by Adolf Loos.

Armorial Hall
The so-called Armorial Hall was once part of the villa designed in 1883 by the architect Eugen Sehnal for the German-Austrian author and critic Hugo Wittmann.

Egyptian Cabinet
The Egyptian Cabinet comes from the apartments in the Leopoldine Wing of the Vienna Hofburg furnished in 1810/12 for Maria Ludovica, the third wife of Emperor Franz II (I). The rooms were designed in various different styles.
