Things to see:

20 Staterooms

Spread out over two floors in the Albertina, the Habsburg’s 20 staterooms are decorated in traditional Empire style and there’s a sense of luxury and opulence running throughout the chambers, including commissioned furniture by Joseph Danhauser. The Hall of Muses, a marble panelled hall with life-sized sculptures of Apollo and his nine muses, is a must-see and lies at the centre of the staterooms. You can also walk through the elaborately furnished Rococo Room, the Spanish Apartments that belonged to the Spanish royal family, and the rich Wedgwood Cabinet whose four wooden walls depict elaborate scenes of the classic elements.
