About the company:
The Vienna Ethnological Museum is the pride of Austria. Since its foundation in 1876, the museum has collected more than two hundred thousand exhibits brought from Asia, Africa, Oceania and America.
In 1928 the Ethnological Museum became fully autonomous. Today it is located in the former imperial residence of the Hofburg, which in itself is one of the most beautiful buildings in Europe.
The collection of the museum boasts such exhibits as the crown of Montezuma – the leader of the Aztecs, artifacts of the Amazon region, gold, bronze and ivory. A special place in the museum is occupied by the collection of James Cook, which was collected by the famous navigator during his expeditions.
