In this new exhibition, you will experience firsthand how courtly life was shaped around 1800. Historical reports tell of splendid festivities, musically accompanied banquets, and festive balls that characterized the social life of the European elite. The tables were set for illustrious guests, including the Empress of Austria Maria Ludovica, famous Archdukes, the British naval hero Horatio Nelson, as well as members of the leading noble houses of Europe.
The carefully preserved service pieces from the Sèvres manufactory, delicate porcelain figures, richly embroidered table linen, and shining silver cutlery reflect the opulent splendor of bygone times. You can immerse yourself in the world of a princely court society, where every detail—from the menu to the artistic table decorations—was part of a refined social ritual.
