At Palais Lobkowitz, just a few steps from the Hofburg Palace, enter the Theatermuseum and explore the history of theatre from the late 15th century to contemporary experimental theatre. With around two million objects the Theatermuseum is one of the largest documentation centres of its kind. Here the vast diversity of theatre genres – from stage acting to dance, puppetry to film, and pantomime to opera – is showcased in temporary exhibitions organised in co-operation with international partners.
The Theatermuseum is to host masterpieces of the Picture Gallery, during the general refurbishment of the Academy of Fine Arts Vienna: on display alongside Hieronymus Bosch’s Last Judgement Triptych are outstanding paintings from the 15th to the 18th century, including works by Cranach the Elder, Rubens, van Dyck, Titian, Füger, and many others.
