👑🥀 Queen Elizabeth II. has died – and there is hardly anybody who has not been touched by this news. Around the globe people are mourning the passing away of the longest serving monarch in the history of the United Kingdom. On this occasion we’d like to share with you a very special moment from the #ImperialTreasury: In the year 1969 #QueenElizabeth visited the Imperial Treasury during her stay in #Vienna. In this photograph, you can see the #Queen in company of the then Federal President of Austria, Franz Jonas, in front of the #ImperialCrown ✨ The Imperial Crown is one of the most precious treasures in the collection of #KunsthistorischesMuseum #Vienna. As insignia of the Holy Roman Empire it is a fundamental part of European and Austrian history and of immense art historical significance. #RIP #QueenElizabeth #BritishRoyalFamily #KaiserlicheSchatzkammer #ImperialTreasury #KunsthistorischesMuseum #Vienna
