Schönbrunn Palace for children

The 16 children of Empress Maria Theresia wandered the rooms and corridors of the 300 year-old Schönbrunn Palace. Nowadays, the children's museum "Experience Schönbrunn Palace" whisks visitors young and old away to the everyday life of those times.

In twelve rooms in the west wing of the former Habsburg residence, they can marvel at walls painted with fantasy landscapes, learn to flirt in fan language, and learn about body care and the art of make-up at the Court. Baroque dresses and wigs are waiting to be tried on. The aristocratic upbringing is also a topic, as are the favorite games of the princes and princesses.
