The highlight for me for me was the Sisi exhibition area very interesting. Make sure you pick up an audio guide for a full explanation of all that you see.
The silver and porcelan collection, Sisi museum and Imperial Apartments are an excellent place to see.

Best part was the silver collection as so many pieces have been retained and preserved - impressive to see how dinnerware and cutlery were used to impress!
The royal appartments are great. The porcelain and silver collections are very good. Kind of disappointed with the Sissi display.
I loved this museum, coming from Australia we have no real history or royal museums so this is just an amaizing walkthrough their history and wealth
