We are a museum for everyone.
111 years after the Emperorís approval, we are finally realizing the project of the heir to the throne Franz Ferdinand.
Become part of the lift building project for the Upper Castle of Ambras and support the inclusive access to art and culture for all people, regardless of their mobility impairments.
We are still missing 17.33 per cent of the total costs for our new lift. Support this project and help us reach our goal!
