Habsburg Splendor

Cette application accompagne l'exposition du High Museum Habsbourg Splendor.

This audio guide app accompanies the exhibition Habsburg Splendor: Masterpiecs from Vienna's Imperial Collections at the HIgh Museum of Art, Atlanta. The exhibition brings masterworks amassed by one of the longest-reigning European dynasties to Atlanta. The exhibition showcases masterpieces and rare objects from the collection of the Habsburg Dynasty – the emperors of the Holy Roman Empire as well as many other superpowers of Europe who commissioned extraordinary artworks now in the collection of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. Habsburg Splendor, largely composed of works that have never traveled outside of Austria, explores the dramatic rise and fall of the Habsburgs' global empire, from their political ascendance in the late Middle Ages to the height of their power in the 16th and 17th centuries, the expansion of the dynasty in the 18th and 19th centuries to its decline in 1918 at the end of World War I.
