This sweeping exhibition showcases the amazing history of the Austrian Habsburg Emperors, who commissioned and collected households full of masterpieces by which to display their power. It focuses particularly on the three periods of their greatest flourishing.
The first relates the history of the Habsburgs from the dynasty’s origins in the 13th century until the 16th century. The central figure is Maximilian I, during whose reign the Habsburgs achieved world-power status. You’ll see how an international network of political and family relations aided in the amassing of unique collections of art.
Devoted to the Age of the Baroque, the second block explores the art, culture, and politics of the 17th and 18th centuries. During this period the House of Habsburg dies out in both Spanish and Austrian male lines, provoking considerable political complications and the loss of Spain. A female heiress, Maria Theresa, succeeded in establishing her right to rule as heir to the Austrian line, becoming the final ruler of the House of Habsburg. Visitors will discover the role of religion, art, and court festivities as instruments propagating the dynasty’s self‐image and claim to rule. Key figures include Leopold Wilhelm, Leopold I, Charles VI, and Maria Theresa.
The early 19th century saw the final demise of the Holy Roman Empire and the establishment of the hereditary Austrian Empire. With the growth of nationalism, the empire would be transformed into the dual monarchy of Austria‐Hungary. Key figures of this period are Francis II (I) and Franz Joseph. This section explores the long reign of Emperor Franz Joseph, the founding of the Kunsthistorisches Museum, and the creation of the multinational empire. This empire, characterized by a highly hierarchical social order, is represented by the lavish gowns of the imperial court. At the end of World War I in 1918, it dissolved into its component parts, bringing almost 600 years of Habsburg rule in Europe to an end.

Regardless of how one may perceive the Habsburg dynasty’s legacy as a force for good or evil in the world, one cannot deny the absolute splendor and beauty created by the artists, sculptors, architects, and jewelers of their time. It is breathtaking to see in a video all of these priceless treasures on display in one place, and I can imagine it would be the experience of a lifetime to see it in person!!
and all of this power and art - to end such a bloodline through incessant inbreeding is a tragic but karmically fitting end.
@@zootdragon8246 the bloodline is still going on today, as are the habsburgs. They ceased to be rulers because of ethnic strife in their multinational empire, and being on the losing side of WW1.
Just because one of the spanish habsburg kings were inbred to the point of infertility doesn't mean they all were. That's just lazy anti-monarchical propaganda.
And to add to it, music, in all its forms and in all its glory!
The museam directers are insane.The Habsburgers is the biggest incest family. They even did so often they created a incest gen in their own family. They all got a Habsburg jaw, could not make children anymore, could barey eat, got epilepsy, etc. Most children died at young age because this.
And it was grandfather with grandchild, sister and brother, elder aunt with far younger first nephew, son with mother. This family is the best ecample in genetic classes.The whole 600 year branche can on a tiny sheet of paper so bad it was. Not telling all this is weird propaganda!
@@PaithanNL the Habsburg jaw was prominent in the family in the 16th to 17th century but begin to decline mostly because they stop inbreeding. Leopold 1 married his 3rd cousin Eleonor Magdalene and their children grew to be fine. His grandchildren grew to fine because their parent and grandparent were not closely related.
Was in Austria few years ago... visited a dozen palaces and museums.... Porcelain collection and religious objects were my favorite.
Schönbrunn palace and its horse carriage museum was beautiful...
Loved Vienna a lot...
Me too.
We took our son to Europe when he was 5 for the 1st time. Our visit to Vienna was far too short. The city was beautiful, people were so friendly. Schoenberg castle was so beautiful. I wish to visit Salzburg next because Sound of Music was and still my favorite childhood movie!
They forgot to mention that the Habsburgs also had a Spanish branch, through which they didn't only rule half of Europe, but also the colonies in the New World and in the Far East. The concept of "The Empire that the Sun never Sets On" was first designed for the Habsburg Empire. However, through poor political judgment and incessant inbreeding the empire fell fast.
+Rainer Vilumaa Inbreeding is actually healthy
+OhFortunae Yeah, no. Just no.
Lexi Vorce Yeah, uhm, just yeah. Read Anthony Ludovici the 'choice of mate'.
4th cousin marriages are the most healthy for the gene pool - the distance is farr enough to have no bad mutations and close enough to have no... too many bad mutations either.
+OhFortunae That man is wrong.
It was commonplace among the Habsburgs for an uncle to marry his niece, often decades his junior. That is wrong on so many levels...
Andre Reinaldo Godfrey. I really enjoyed this video. The Habsburgs were a monumental family. Good work.
Minnesota has a lot of Habsburg ties. The U of M was given the Austrian archives and Otto came here often. We have one of the highest Austrian populations in the country and that is why we were given the archives over Yale who wanted them.
How did Minnesota get so many Habsburg ties? What religion do they publicly say they are?
Minnesota has the largest number of Austrians in the US. I knew Zita von Habsburg personally and her son Otto and visited the former Empress in Switzerland in the 1980s.
Austrians and 99% Catholic and of course the Habsburgs were Catholic and considered the great defenders of the Faith.
When is the U of Minnesota going build its Somali Art Museum of a rock and a spear?
@@CoxJoxSox the Habsburg family were predominantly Catholic.
It was awfully nice of the Hapsburgs to lend their treasures and heirlooms for public display. We should send a thank you letter to Archduke Karl for his family's generosity.
The Spanish branch of The House of Habsburg was the most important in the European History and the Spaniards called it Casa de Austria.
yes it was one of the most important
House of Austria, you could call them that
My favourite noble house!
The Habsburgs weren’t among Europe’s most important families; The Habsburgs ARE one of Europe’s most important families.
That’s literally what she said
I really like royal palaces, with their gorgeous gardens, their art, and especially the Habsburgs.
I would have loved to have seen this treasure . I am sure it is priceless vision. Beautiful! Thank You for sharing!
Thank you for this video. Every year before pandemic I went from Ukraine to Wien and visited your great museum .
The spanish branch was, in fact, the firstborn branch, the austrian branch comes from infante Don Fernando, Emperor Charles V younger brother.....
As well the Austrian branch during and after Maria Theresa is known as the house of Habsburg-Lorraine
NapoleonBonaparte
Because they’re paternally House of Lorraine and House of Habsburg is just the maternal dynasty
@@ivstev70th Yes, cuz of that the English royals should technically be known as Windsor-Glücksburg
NapoleonBonaparte
No
The true is Saxe-Coburg and Gotha-Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg
Coz Windsor is absolutely Saxe-Coburg and Gotha
And Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg is the complete name of Glücksburg
Lol 🤣
@@NapoleonBonaparde Actually Sachsen-Coburg-Gotha-Schleswig-Holstein-Sonderburg-Glücksburg. Put that one in your pipe and smoke it ;)
The Habsburgs was one of the most important families in Europe.
Yeah one who married one another to the point that they gave birth to rulers with horrible deformities through incest

Roger McIntyre THE most important family
Bowling for Roof most inbred
Now I need to review the medicis
Respected from Bulgaria.
Fascinating and beautiful presentation. I had no idea the Habsburgs had such a strong connection to Minnesota, a region of the country I associate more with Norway, Finland and Sweden.
i could not watch it without crying. it is so beautiful in so many ways - hope one day, the ancestors of this noble family will get back to our country and take back the throne that we can finally get rid of the Cabal and their international banking fraud.
They inbred themselves out of existence.
lololol true that - by the end of their dynasty the "royals" couldnt even close their own mouths or chew their own food, some were frail and infertile, the others had "bouts of insanity". yes please let them take their rightful places as rulers of your country. lolololol
Halsburg is NOT what Europe and the world need. They created WW1 and brought death to so many people.. all due to GREED and POWER HUNGRY of a few men.🙄

@@kittyss2371 what? Archduke Ferdinand was a reformer and Serb ethnonationalist killed him because he had a potential to preserve Habsburg control by reforming the Kaiser's more austria-centred autocratic government. And what about Blessed Charles? He was pretty popular with the Magyars and was almost restored but not because of Allies threats. I hope you also read on Churchill's thought that Hit*er would've not easily become powerful if the Habsburgs were still ruling.
02:44 center - there's the Habsburg Jaw right there! Jay Leno must be a descendant!😂
😁😁😁
The "Habsburg Jaw" came from Countess Marie Cymburga of Poland in the 16th Century...Please correct me if I am wrong...
AmericanPatriot you never know...
They developed the jaw because they were highly inbred, they even married niece and uncle
@@choxxxieful Its clearly seen in Maximillian I in the 15th century
NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE MAGNIFICENCE!!!!!!!!!!!!! .......ONE PICTURE IS WORTH A THOUSAND WORDS....................
For all their inbreeding they managed to figure out how to acquire territory through the marriage bed vs the battlefield.
It worked for quite awhile, longer than some rival dynasties.
"let others wage war, you, happy Austria, marry" Matthias Corvinus, king of hungary
Nos ad conquerendas terras saevius pugnamus. Tu, felix Austria, nubes
As far as I know the inbreeding ended a long time ago with Charles II of Spain. Starting from Empress Maria Theresa's father down to Ferdinand Habsburg-Lothringen there isn't any inbreeding anymore.

To visit the Kunst Historiche Museum is in my bucket list for years.
hope you will get to visit it soon it is really cool
if you want to see these armors and weapons you must also visit the Heeresgeschichtliche Museum , and the Schatzkammer hope you enjoy your stay ! best from Vienna
Yes we need Chinese tourists money.. 😁😁😁😁😁😁😁
First Kunsthistorisches Museum, than across the Maria-Theresien place into the Naturhistorisches Museum. After this 2 museums you can cross the ringroad in to the Hofburg to visit the "Schatzkammer" treasure and the "Spanische Hofreitschule" for the Lipizzan.
@@Kullioking This can take me more than one day:)
Fantastic. Thank you!
Danke schoen. Ausgezeichnet. I was in Vienna at the winter palace and also Schoenbrun but I did not get to see the Kunsthistorisches museum.
The Habsburg dinasty started in Habsburg -Switzerland (Kanton Aargau)
Thanks for the information, I didn't know there was a city in Switzerland called Habsburg
@@danielleporter1829 : it's rather a little village with an ancient castle, the "Habsburg Castle". You can visit it
@@marcob4630 if I'm ever in that part of Switzerland🇨🇭, I will😀😁
@@danielleporter1829 : I hope you'll visit Switzerland in the future
Marco Brenni : Mitnichten ! Die Habsburger haben ihren Ursprung im Niederelsass. Werner von Altenburg gründete die Habichtsburg im Argaw, das bereits zur Familie gehörte und zwar mitsamt den Urkantonen der heutigen Schweiz.Das macht die Habsburger nicht zur schweizer Familie zu Mal es damals noch gar KEINE SCHWEIZ gab. Die Urschwützer aber kämpften als habsburger Untertanen unter der roten Reichsfahne (Blutfahne).Die heutige schweizer Fahne ist die quadratische rote Reichsfahne mit dem silbernen Kreuz.Deshalb bleibt sie quadratisch allen anderen Weltfahnen und Europäischen Union zum Trotze !
Thank you!
Europe history is really interesting
And each country in Old Europe has had it's own great dynasty,not only Austria !
Its Euopean History not Europe History.
Well the European history is interesting when it talks about monarchy
That means Monarchy is the Culture and traditions in europe
So if European wants to have their Culture and Traditions back the only way is to restore The Monarchy
Long live The Habsburg !

@@gungdegalang4635 I don't even know where to start. Everything you said is so wrong
Love this stuff! Thank you
Writing from Vienna: God, where did they find snow for this video? I am so envious!
They came to Canada!
Hats off to Dr. Otto von Habsburg too, who married into Queen Victoria' family!!

Saddest thing EVER to know I missed this when you visited.
Amazing art collection! Sublime!
Oh to have just ONE ride on that amazing sleigh!😍
Go ask Alice show up for work in it. Lol
Ausgezeichnet! Danke sehr!
Would have loved to see this exhibit although it is nice their in this video. Thanks
It's too bad we'll never create this kind of beauty ever again...
you haven't seen the people in the White House?
carolyn andrade yeah but they’re smelly
I sometimes feel that our species has past our zenith of accomplishments as a civilization and this is our long degeneration, nothing we'll ever do be as good as it once was.
@@gerardjagroo You are wrong
fanofdesign but....IKEA! Lol! I’m kidding of course. Have a good day.
Congratulations to you from Bulgaria !
Very interesting and sure beatifull.
They were all really beautiful when Young
Interesting Thank you.
The Minneapolis Institute of Art has had some of the best exhibits. I'm fortunate enough to live only two hours away from this place
Nice to know about Hansburg
Csak éltél volna alattvalojukként 400 évig elnyomva, mint a magyarok !!!!
Omg I would love to see it in person
Daaaaaiiiiiimmmmnnnn... Wish I had seen this in due time... 😱😱😩😩😩😩
Guess I’ll have to go drag the family all the go Áustria in a few yrs... 🤔🤔🤔
Cause I’m most definitely seeing this glorious exhibition, no matter what!🥰🥰🥰
Gracias

Ich konstatiere schon seit geraumer Zeit,daß es Historiker,oder solche,die sich dafür halten,aus den "jungen"englischsprachigen Ländern wie den USA,Australien und Neuseeland,sind,die im TV oder auch im Internet uns Europäern unsere europäische Geschichte , von der sie wohl wegen der Länge vieler Jahrhunderte derartig begeistert sind, näherbringen und erklären wollen ! Ihre eigene Geschichte gibt ja nicht annähernd soviel her !
The Austrias yielded power not by war but by marriage. They knew how to play the war of thrones through marriage it is fascinating, I'am obsessed with the Habsburgs. They ultimately lost the Chess game by their own sacrificial move which was through marriage within their own family. They let in a male heir from a powerful rival family and took a hold of their family but they lost their game through Charles the II in the Spanish branch.
It’s a dynasty of decadent people, full of incests. Uncle married with their niece.
Look at your picture. It says it all.
And it is the same with the Bourbons. Thanks God Napoleon came and put a stop on both families.
The same with Portuguese Brasilien King mariage with Áustria Empress.
The De Medicis and Hapsburgs anre the two families that just keep showing up.
Did that black/gold armour that appears at 4:24 belong to Charles V?
Yup
No creo. Me parece muy fea. Las. autenticas armaduras de Carlos V estan en España y son impresionantes. Mucho mas lujosas.
I love it
Splendid, Lol! Your name and your comment fits perfectly well...
All items the family was unable to keep as they were forced out of the country
The Habsburg were not forced out of Austria.

Spanish habsburg is the great one charles v and phillip 2
No only phillip 2 power base was exclusively spanish habsburg Charles V was both austrian and spanish habsburg. Also Charles V was born in netherlands unlike phillip II
What a beautiful collection This Great Royal Family left for Austria+ World. 🙏⚘🙏
They didn't steel it and take it outside of Vienna/ Austria...
AMO HISTÓRIA !
1:18 everytime i saw that
i am speechless
My ancestor János pálffy was protecter of one of the queens of the Habsburgs
Mine was the Harold of Jerusalem, Georg Rixner, of Max1...🤗
I’m sure the exhibit is closed now due to Covid 19. What a shame because it would be worth a trip up there to see it
Yes, they really were "Heroes of world history."
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Why you not giving us that collection? Its thousands and some people need something antique inside their house too!!! Create & Sign your petion now!!!
I think I missed this beautiful exhibition . When did it happen? I guess this means I need to schedule a trip to Vienna .
Yes. ..they did
Blessed Karl I succeeded to the thrones in November 1916 following the death of his granduncle, Franz Joseph. He made secret attempts to negotiate Austria-Hungary's exit from the First World War but was unsuccessful.
His cause for Canonization has been introduced together with that of Zita. In April, 1972, his sarcophagus was opened & his body was found to be incorrupt.
The Great War sought to & succeeded in overthrowinh the Catholic monarchy together with the Christian social order.
We pray for the restoration of both!
I heard they had jaws of royalty.
I would LOVE to go and see the Kunsthistorisches Museum. Wow.
Sad that history's so full of insane shi*t? ....
The glorious timelessness of the artifacts across all museums are priceless treasures.
I never get tired of looking at it.
Interesting...we jump from emperor Maximilian I to empress Maria Theresia. What about the 200 years between both of them? What about emperor Charles V? I'm sorry but this is a biased video. If you want to portrait the Habsburgs you must tell everything.
Ninguno como Carlos V. Rey de las Españas y emperador del sacro imperio romano gernanico. No hablan de el porque esta en España. Y el y sus descendientes estan enterrados en España. Palacios joyas. Su armadura en Madrid.
They all are Frankist-Sabbateans. Same rulers of today
Restore Habsburg to the Austrian throne
Maestro K
Kick the Bourbons out of Spain !!!
Restore the true glorious legitimate Monarch to both the Spanish and the Austrian Thrones, the Habsburgs !!!
Habsburgs must rule Hungary, Czech Republic, South Poland, Venetia, the north parts of Italy and Bosnia.... all belong to Austrian Empire !!!!
yes - enough with the cabal and there international banking fraud. Freedom for the people.
Mike Anderson 2002 : You forgot Slovakia, Slovenia, Lombardia, South Tyrol, Tuscany, Modene and a few german and swiss small Rhenan principalities/counties (not to mention the usurpation of Luxembourg and the secession of The Netherlands)! But the original Habsburg Dynasty is extinct since Empress Maria Theresa of Austria, the last Habsburg, who maried Franz I of Lorraine/Lotharigen: their children and descendants to the present day are Habsburg-Lorraine to be precise!
Justin von Habsburg : The Austro-Hungarian Empire besides being very rich and multicultural was essencial for the political balance of Europe, acting as a bridge or a defending barrier (depending of the need) between the east and west european empires and also between the christian countries and the asian near eastern muslim territories! It's a shame what happened after WW I...
Roland Steinmassl If that cabal exists the Habsburgs are basically in the middle of it, even if they don't rule anymore. Just look at their involvement in the founding of the European Union.
Shocking how the most beautiful painting in the world by Velasquez was not shown.
9.47 What the music ?
Long live the Monarchy and Habsburg dynasty.
hab is from habicht, which in this case basically stands for the eagle of rome. burg is castle btw. according to hinduism, we live in the dark age, so called kali yuga. ages are also defined by the leaders, from gold-best to iron-worst. in kali yuga, buildings stack high and rulers belong to the lowest of the lowest. its not just that theyre incapable or just plain useless, theyre parasites and a huge burden for the people at least.
It seems there has never been a time when human beings failed to use propaganda to further themselves. Perhaps the cave drawings had a similar purposes - showing future generations how they dominated the land or mastered survival in those days, certainly with help from the spiritual world, i.e., the natural world imbued with spirits. That's my take on human history.
Propaganda is not a bad word, is just Latin for basically spreading or promoting. I believe the exact English word for it is "propagate" . It's strange that when modern ears hear that word, it's always negative because of the " propaganda minister " in the third Reich.
Is that Empress Zita at 0:24 or am I mistaken?
Yes, well spotted :) and the blond boy is Otto, he's always easily recognizable
absolutely beautiful. Empress Maria Teresa was absolutely a beast when it came to cleanliness, good manners, protocol,fashion,respect,art and her feisty way of ruling is something that no other monarch has ever possessed.
Pobre Carlos II, cuánto daño le hicieron al infeliz.
Also my ancestors😇😊😁
Maybe I'm dense but I (being an art historian) have no idea about which artists they are talking about. Pity
Flemish medival masters
That kind of hurts
There are many Flemish medieval masters and I can’t remember the names of any of them. Hans and franz? No that’s not them... it’s worth taking a look in the old textbook... but it weighs a ton and I need to get ready for work. Lol

Les Habsbourg est l'une des dynasties les plus puisantes d'europe et a marqué aussi beaucoup de Souverains dont Maximilien Ier de Habsbourg,Charles Quint,Léopold Ier de Habsbourg,Marie-thérése surtout qui est la premiére femme installé sur le trone du saint-empire-romain germanique,François Ier d'Autriche,et bien-sur François-joseph Ier,l'avant dernier des Habsbourg avant Charles Ier,né en 1887 et dernier Empereur d'Autriche de 1916 à 1918,et mort en 1922 en éxile au Portugal.
The number of people who believe that the severity of their inbred gens are fine are, quite frankly, disturbing, To say the least.
They had issues no doubt but they were largely solved it by stopping that to a greater or lesser degree. Plus Free Real Estate.
Well there are worse things.

@@johnnotrealname8168 Hello John, i see that we share the same profile picture. lol
I always wonder who would click a thumbs down one a video that presents art and beauty or for that matter a part of history.
Yes, like Roman figuring.
At 1:28. Those two are the Holy Roman Emperor and Archduke of Austria Leopold I with his darling wife, Margaret Theresa of Spain. He belonged to the Austrian Hapsburg branch while she belonged to the Spanish Hapsburg branch. As a result, Leopold was both Margaret's maternal uncle AND paternal cousin. That's why they look weird--the centuries of inbreeding in this powerful and blindingly wealthy family was doing odd things to their skulls. Yay for hideous Hapsburg inbreeding that kept all this wealth, lands and power in the hands of one family!
Muy bueno
