MYTH AND TRUTH ABOUT SISI
In the Sisi Museum, numerous personal items that once belonged to Elisabeth are used to illustrate the true personality of the frequently misunderstood Empress. It was not only her violent death but also the movie which surrounded her by the aura of a myth. It was Ernst Marischka’s 1950s Sissi trilogy that made the Empress become well-known worldwide. However, the figure of the young Romy Schneider “moulds the image of a young, sweet, easy-going” “Sissi albeit”, which has little in common with the real Empress Elisabeth (Katrin Unterreiner). The Exhibition of the Sisi Museum makes a successful attempt to introduce the real Sisi while enlightening how the young and enthusiast girl turns “into somebody so frustrated” who would rather be dead.
