Description
A houseof the Biedermeier period 1815-1848
Geymüllerschlössel served as a summer residence of Viennese merchant and banker Johann Jakob Geymüller (1760–1834). From there it has a complicated history until the late 19th century when it was purchased, along with its fabulous collection of Biedermeier furniture and woodwork, by the MAK.
The Geymüllerschlössel was carefully refurbished in the 1980’s. In this house turned museum you’ll see everything as it might have been during the original Biedermeier era, including painted walls, carpets, and furniture. The collection of clocks, pieces of art, impressive décor, and variety of Biedermeier textiles give the impression that this was a wealthy bourgeois residence. A famous concrete sculpture by Hubert Schmalix stands in the garden.
