Guided tour of Empress Maria Theresa's summer rooms:

One of the first commissions Johann Wenzel Bergl undertook at Schönbrunn was the painting of Maria Theresa's summer apartment, which consists of four rooms, and is known today as the Goëss Apartment.

The murals in the rooms display a succession of landscapes, starting with an untouched exotic landscape and ending with a formal Baroque garden.

Guided tour of the Crown Prince Rudolf Apartment

Unlike to the Maria Theresia Apartment, the paintings in the Crown Prince Rudolf Apartment are of native landscapes but nevertheless still enhanced by exotic and antique set pieces.

In 1864 the apartment was furnished for the six-year-old heir to the throne. The walls of four of the six rooms were decorated with exotic landscape paintings by Johann Wenzel Bergl and his studio between 1774 and 1778.

Since April 2009 the apartment has again been dedicated to the crown prince. His life is illustrated with numerous objects grouped according to the subjects of family, women, education and science.
