Imperial Treasury, Art museum and imperial collection at Hofburg Palace, Vienna, Austria
The Imperial Treasury contains 21 rooms filled with crowns, ceremonial robes, religious artifacts, and precious gems spanning over a thousand years of European history.
The Imperial Regalia was transferred from Nuremberg to Vienna in 1800 to protect these royal treasures from French troops during the Napoleonic Wars.
The collection displays the Imperial Crown of the Holy Roman Empire, created between 960-980, representing the authority and traditions of European monarchies.
The museum entrance is located in the Schweizerhof courtyard of Hofburg Palace, with combined tickets available for access to multiple imperial collections.
The treasury holds a massive narwhal tusk that medieval Europeans believed to be a unicorn horn, along with the largest carved agate bowl in existence.
