About this audio guide
This guide to the Sisi Museum in Vienna follows Empress Elisabeth of Austria's final hours in Geneva on September tenth, 1898, an ordinary walk toward a lakeside steamship that went suddenly wrong. You'll hear how the objects displayed in these rooms, from her corset to the fan she carried that day, tell a story the empress's romanticized image never did. Look closely at the death mask in the first room before moving on.
