Correr Museum

This guide to the Correr Museum in Venice follows Empress Elisabeth of Austria, known as Sisi, who shut herself inside a golden boudoir here for seven months in eighteen sixty-one after the death of her young daughter. You'll hear about her earlier stay with her husband Franz Joseph in eighteen fifty-six, the nine rooms of the former royal apartments she moved through, and the borrowed imperial furnishings that filled them. Walk her rooms in order, from the audience hall she mostly avoided through to the boudoir at the far end.
