The focus is on unique cultural treasures from all over the world and the stories they have to tell. The aim is to communicate to visitors the cultural diversity of the contents, stories and ways of life in an entertaining way. The highlights of the Museum represent more than 500 years of high-quality collecting activities of the Habsburgs – among them objects from the Kunstkammer (Cabinet of Curiosities) of Emperor Rudolf II, the unique Mexican feather headdress Penacho, the world-famous collection of James Cook, objects from the voyages of discovery and research of the 19th century – yet remarkable objects and documents continued to be obtained in the 20th century. The collections of the Kunsthistorisches Museum Vienna at the Neue Burg will be accessible via the same entrance and ticket. The Imperial Armoury is packed full of magnificent suits of armour and decorative weapons that attest to chivalric values and important occasions at court. From autumn 2018, the Collection of Historic Musical Instruments comprises the original instruments of some of the world’s greatest composers such as Mozart, Haydn and Beethoven.
