Austria's national theatre museum occupies Palais Lobkowitz, a 1690s baroque palace whose festival hall, the Eroica Hall, hosted the first performances of Beethoven's Third Symphony. Part of the KHM museum association, it holds more than two million objects: stage models, costumes, drawings, photographs and puppets, including Richard Teschner's Figurenspiegel. Gustav Klimt's painting Nuda Veritas (1899) is a highlight. The museum has been closed for renovation since August 2025.
