The Pearl of the Austro-Hungarian Empire | Princess Sissi and the Art of Her Time

On the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between China and Hungary, the China Millennium Monument held the exhibition "Pearl of the Austro-Hungarian Empire - Princess Sissi and the Art of Her Times". For those of us born in the 1980s, the name of Princess Sissi is really well-known. When I was very young, I got to know about the legendary life of Princess Sissi through the movie "Sissi". This time you can explore her life and her legendary era up close, so of course you have to check it out as soon as possible! Overall, the exhibition is quite rich in content. The 300 selected exhibits come from the Gödöllő Palace, known as the "Versailles" of Hungary. Paintings, authentic works, court costumes, poetry collections, music, etc. can not only satisfy our curiosity about the legendary woman, Princess Sissi, but also let us appreciate the wonderful history of literature and art of the Austro-Hungarian Empire in the 19th century. The great "Prince of Piano" Liszt, Hans Makart who led the Vienna painting world, Mihaly Munkács, the greatest Hungarian painter, the revolutionary poet Petofi, etc., all have related exhibits on display, which are a feast for the eyes. There is also a whole wall of timeline map in the exhibition hall, in which these literary and artistic masters are linked together by the soul figure Princess Sissi. After watching the whole exhibition, I had some brainstorming and gained a lot. You can do more homework before coming. There is also an interactive "Princess Sissi" NPC in the exhibition hall, where you can wear beautiful Lolita and other style clothing to take photos and check in.
