The Children’s Room is decorated with portraits of Maria Theresa’s daughters. Most of her eleven daughters were married off at a young age for political reasons. On the left just beside the door is the portrait of Marie Christine, Maria Theresa’s favourite daughter. The only one of her daughters allowed to marry for love, her husband was Albert of Saxony-Teschen, the founder of the Albertina. Here you can look into the bathroom which was installed for Zita, the last Habsburg empress, in 1917. Before you leave the next room you can look into the Breakfast Cabinet. The appliqué work in the medallions decorating the walls was executed by Elisabeth Christine, the mother of Maria Theresa.
