Experience Schönbrunn Palace
In twelve rooms in the West Wing of the former summer residence of the Habsburgs - among them the Bergl Rooms, adorned with several colorful imaginary landscapes - curious visitors can learn the coquettish language of a fan, gain some impression of personal hygiene and the art of make-up at court, or comb an elaborate wig. A doll can be dressed up with clothes that were in fashion during the Baroque era - or you can try them on yourself.
Different kinds of scents not only recreate what was cooking in the imperial kitchens, but also reveal the perfumes preferred by the courtiers of yesteryear. But there is more: "Experience Schönbrunn Palace" also gives an insider's view of the education of the children of aristocrats and the games princes and princesses liked to play, recreates an imperial audience, and makes you shudder as you learn about "bleeding therapies" with leeches. And you can also "create" an imperial garden with the help of a special puzzle.
Personalized visit possible, child-suitable guides on changing themes.
Quadrille dancing: May we have the next dance? Learn how to dance the quadrille!
Dancing, of course, was one of the most important class subjects for the emperor's children. After all, the children of the emperor had to demonstrate their dancing skills at large social events, such as balls, family celebrations and weddings.
The Quadrille is still the social highpoint of each ball and is always danced at midnight. How and to what music people danced at the time is explained by a dance teacher from the Children's Museum. The dance class takes place very majestically in the former sports hall of Empress Elisabeth.
Quadrille dancing: Children from 6 years, adults
Every third Saturday and Sunday in the month at 3.00 pm. Reservation recommended
