VICTORIA!

A Court Carriage and its Colourful History

24 October 2024 to 4 May 2025

Tickets

For the first time in more than 100 years you can admire the Victoria in the Imperial Carriage Museum that Emperor Franz Joseph was particularly fond of riding in during the last few years of his life. Millions of people were familiar with the sight of the ageing monarch riding out in his “personal Victoria carriage”. At the end of the mon-archy, however, the vehicle appeared to have gone missing.

This display reveals how the team at the Imperial Carriage Museum succeeded in find-ing the Victoria in a collection of dilapidated stud farm carriages and through a metic-ulous renovation process restore it to its original condition.
