Ambition & Illusion
Schloss Eggenberg:
the staging of a world

In 2025, Schloss Eggenberg turns 400 years old. For this exhibition, the house and its 24 state rooms once again take on their original role: They become platforms for the staging of a princely family that has managed to mould its failure into an eternal success story by a work of art. However, this staging would have been impossible without the help of many people, most of whom had to work behind the scenes. This exhibition pulls back the curtain to reveal all the chamberlains and ladies-in-waiting, the treasurers with empty coffers, the outsiders and social climbers, the prince’s personal barber, his chef, and chambermaid.

The inspiring combination of precious artworks and stately rooms with new media and music provides visitors with a new experience that will surprise even those already familiar with Eggenberg.

This major anniversary exhibition transforms the state rooms into unique exhibition spaces. Immerse yourself in the world of the Eggenberg family and experience the UNESCO World Heritage Site in a new light. Make sure to get your ticket (online or on-site) including time slot.

Golden Carriage of Prince Johann Anton von Eggenberg

The golden carriage from Český Krumlov Castle was loaned for the first time for an exhibition at Schloss Eggenberg as part of the major anniversary celebrations. Together with unique textiles, the most valuable objects from the world of Eggenberg were presented at Schloss Eggenberg for one season. For conservation reasons, the carriage must be returned one month before the end of SHOWING STYRIA exhibition. The cold season poses increased risks for all types of art transport.

Following adaptations to the exhibition space in question, a new multimedia installation will be on display from 11 October. Although it will not replace the real carriage, Prince Johann Anton von Eggenberg's triumph in Rome in 1638 can still be admired until the last day of the exhibition on 2 November.
