Children's Museum

The Children's Museum is located inside Schönbrunn Palace and presents the lives of imperial children through interactive displays. Each room covers different areas such as education, entertainment, and daily tasks of youngsters in the palace.

Schönbrunn Palace served as the summer residence of the Habsburg dynasty starting in the 1700s. This site became the location where young members of the imperial family grew up and received their education.

The exhibition rooms show how imperial children lived within formal court rules and daily routines. Visitors see real objects from childhood in the palace, from toys to clothing worn centuries ago.

The museum is open daily, so it is best to check exact opening hours before your visit. Since it is located within the palace, allow time to also explore other sections of the large complex.

Visitors can try on authentic clothing from the imperial era and experience what it felt like to be an imperial child. This hands-on approach helps people understand the formal rules and expectations that governed court life.
