I had such a lovely day trip here and was so happy to stumble upon this beautiful place. To sit on the Victorian patio under the vines, overlooking the green gardens made me feel like I had gone back in time- everything is so beautifully restored and the museum has an interesting photo collection explaining more about the history of the house and of Sisi. The staff were so friendly and offered us a cup of tea to enjoy in the sun and were happy to answer all our questions. Lovely space to enjoy alone or with families with lots of spaces for the kids to explore.

The Museum of the town of Bad Ischl is situated in Seeauerhaus/Hotel Austria on the River Traun. You need a lot of time if you really want to look at all the exhibits closely (or you come back several times). They are distributed across several storeys. On the first floor you find an exhibition about Emperor Franz Josef and his family. It is well-known that the Emperor and his wife got engaged in this building, and it is possible to visit the room where the engagement took place. Apart from imperial history, a lot of objects from other eras of the local past are presented, and that starts with prehistory. The exhibition comprehends the production of salt and its transport on the River Traun. Another very illustrative section is the one about the turn of the 19th to the 20th c. A lot of famous actors, composers and other artists frequented Bad Ischl then and left their traces. I highly recommend a longer visit to this museum because you can also get an insight into local folklore, music and all sorts of traditions. I especially enjoy going to lectures there, some of which were so interesting that I will never forget them. Besides, the audiences were illustrious, too.
