Empress Elisabeth already fascinated contemporaries in her lifetime and, even today, her person and her myth capture the imagination of many people. During her lifetime, mobility in the Danube Monarchy saw a rapid change and feats of craftsmanship were accomplished “in honour of the empress”. The empress presented herself as a user of “modern technology” by having the “Hofsalonwagen” (royal railway carriage) built for her personal use. In this tour, objects of the Technisches Museum Wien (Vienna Museum of Science and Technology) are illuminated from a different perspective by taking a look at the life and times of the empress.
