The Wien Museum houses one of Europe’s premiere clothing collections, which will be featured in an exhibition of fashion from the period 1860-1910.You will get a great chance to visit it during your European Tour.  The Wien Museum's fashion collection encompasses more than 20,000 items. Chief among these is the collection of ladies' wear from the 19th and 20th centuries.

 A highlight of the collection is the fashion of the Gründerzeit period, a time when Vienna's gentry underwent something of a fashion makeover. A selection of this clothing from 1860-1910 will be displayed at the Wien Museum on Karlsplatz.

Where was fashion created in Vienna? Who shopped where? Vienna, like other European cities, saw the emergence during this time of shops with ready-made fashions. But even more sought after were the couture shops with their tailor-made creations. The exhibition will also document the evolution in the ideals of beauty , from wasp waists and uplifted busts to the changes in fashion that freed women from the tyranny of the corset once and for all. Ball gowns, funeral wear, sportswear, and undergarments will be presented alongside accessories such as fans, parasols, and unusual hats. But the focus will not be solely on the elegant world of the upper classes. The exhibition will also showcase the everyday clothing of the lower classes and the reality behind the façades of the noble salons and new department stores. The world of these seamstresses and shop girls was anything but glamorous.
