Workplace Sisi Museum

The Sisi Museum lies in the Hofburg, in the heart of Vienna - a residence of the Habsburgs for more than 600 years. The Kaiserappartements, the Silberkammer and the museum draw hundreds of thousands of guests from around the world each year - many of them with a very personal connection to Empress Elisabeth.

Working here are open-minded, service-oriented people who love culture and guests. With great attention, the readiness to get stuck in and a smile, real hospitality is lived here every day for our international audience.

Bringing the Empress's life to life

I worked for many years in the shop at the Sisi Museum. It was varied, but often demanding. Many of our guests remarked how beautiful our workplace is. That did make me very proud. My experiences at the Sisi Museum still benefit me today, and I bring a lot from that time into my current work.

Irene, People Development

At the Sisi Museum our teams work as an ensemble across three closely connected areas, in the following roles:

  • Guest services & cultural guiding
    Our colleagues welcome guests at the ticketing desk, guide them through the rooms, and share the history and context around Empress Elisabeth and courtly life. Multilingualism is especially in demand here. In the historic rooms, our invigilators look after the protection of guests, rooms and objects - many of the exhibited pieces are originals from the Empress's personal possession.
  • Cleaning
    Our cleaning staff work as part of the on-site team, taking care of cleanliness and specialist custodial cleaning.
  • Shop
    The museum shop offers curated keepsakes around Sisi and the Hofburg - from books and reproductions through to design products.

This site is actively supported by our colleagues in administration. You can find more information on career opportunities in administration here.

Good to know

The Sisi Museum, Imperial Apartments and Silver Collection are operated jointly by the Schönbrunn Group - you're not working for a stand-alone museum here, but for a leading Austrian institution in tourism.
