Description
Vienna's Imperial Carriage Museum, which is over 100 years old, displays around 140 vehicles, including the imperial family's ceremonial carriages -- testimonies of their owners' ranks and societal status. Among them is the Imperial Coach, "the most magnificent vehicle in our collection," according to the museum's curator, Mario Doeberl. For hundreds of years, carriages were considered key elements in the representation of the court, showcasing "splendour" and "beauty", says restorer Matthias Manzini, adding, "I don't want to compare it to a Rolls-Royce, but it's a bit like that."
