The Vienna Furniture Museum (formerly the Hofmobiliendepot) today represents a unique mix of storage, workshop, administration and museum that cannot be found anywhere else. The depot is dedicated to the restoration, preservation and management of the holdings. A selection of the most beautiful and important objects is shown in the museum. Over the centuries, the former “junk room of the monarchy” became one of the most important furniture collections in the world.

“Imperial Furniture Depot” already under Maria Theresia

As an institution, the Vienna Furniture Museum / Court Furniture Depot dates back to the 18th century. Maria Theresa appointed the first court furniture inspector in 1747, who was responsible for the care, inventory and transport of the imperial furniture.

Emperor Franz Joseph had the K.K. build the court furniture depot at Mariahilfer Strasse No. 88 as a central warehouse for the court's furniture inventory. Some showrooms were set up as early as 1924. In 1998 the court furniture depot was finally opened as a modern museum.
