• Imperial Treasury Vienna - One of the most important collection of historical artifacts in Europe including the regalia of the Holy Roman Empire.

• Professional Art Historian guide
• Entry/Admission - Imperial Treasury Vienna

On this excursion, we’ll witness the crown of the Holy Roman Empire of the German nation, Napoleon II’s birthplace, a unicorn horn, and outfits worn by the Order of the Golden Fleece members. Each of these artefacts imparts critical and captivating insights about us.

For instance, we’ll discuss the origin of crowns, the shared attributes of Russian oligarchs and Roman patricians, and the surprising similarities between medieval laws and today’s lifestyle magazine tips.

We’ll decipher the symbolism of the Austrian Empire’s crown and find out where Emperor Maximilian of Mexico fumbled. Additionally, we’ll understand the sceptre’s historical evolution and provide proof that historical cosplay wasn’t inherently a concept of J.R.R. Tolkien’s fans. Certainly, we won’t overlook religious relics - The Veil of Veronica, John the Baptist’s tooth, and fragments of the True Cross.

All these museum regalia incarnate societal hierarchy concepts and often stem from our subconscious mindsets. Discover this for yourself during our interactive Imperial Treasury tour.
