Furniture Museum Vienna

I happened upon this museum because it was part of the Sisi pass. I would not have thought to visit here had it not been included - and that is probably why they did. I enjoyed this collection much more than anticipated because the museum is more than just about pretty pieces to sit on. During the glorious reign of the Hapsburgs, they occupied several residences and these were not fully furnished all time. Key pieces were carted around from palace to palace - which makes for a fascinating history that ties together the people, the places and the furniture! The guided audiotour provides a detailed narrative about the pieces on display. Most of the exhibit focuses on the Hapsburgs and Sisi (1282 - 1918) but there are special exhibits that may showcase other time periods. This is an interesting place to spend a morning or an afternoon but budget at least 2 hours for leisurely exploration

This was my favorite museum in Vienna, who could have thought this place turned out to be a memorable one. It was a pleasure to look at furnishings from centuries ago, I was intrigued to learn more about Empress Elisabeth of Austria, after viewing her painting. There is even a TV series about her.

I really liked this museum. Usually when you go to palaces you only see the furniture that the curators of the exhibitions choose. Here you have the opportunity to see a very wide variety of furniture. It was very interesting and very beautiful - highly recommended

I found the museum quite interesting since I’m into furniture and interior design. Still, I wouldn’t really recommend it to everyone - the topic is a bit too specific. The ticket includes an audio guide, though.

An impressive collection of furniture from 1800 to 1950. Really quite and well maintained. It deserves a visit.

Not big. But interesting. See how furniture has evolved from approximately 1700-1930’s … Not busy. 36,00 euros 💶.

Well, when you buy a sisi pass you get one of the tickets to Furniture Museum. I personally liked the museum as it showed the historical furniture from Habsburg kingdom to the furniture used by the last emperor. Also it showed the creative techniques used in the last century.

Enormous museum. If you run between rooms and read close to nothing, it'd still take an hour. So either focus or allocate 2+ hours. I liked this more than MAC because I don't care for industrial design. I wanted to see historic furniture (wood, textiles) and that's exactly what this museum is for. The audio guide is included in the ticket and provides entertaining anecdotes. The visit is well marked and easy to follow. We weren't rushed out at closing time. I wish there was a shop with books in English to follow up on all these pretty furniture.
