Archduke Franz Ferdinand assembled the “Este Collection” during his world trip in 1892-93.

The “Este Collection” was assembled by Archduke Franz Ferdinand during his 1892/93 world trip and was installed in what is now the Weltmuseum Wien.

In 1912 the "Este Collection" was exhibited in the Corps de Logis, a wing of the Neue Burg (now the Weltmuseum Wien). After the end of the Autro-Hungarian monarchy, the collection shifted to the holdings of the Ethnographic Department of the Natural History Museum, Vienna.
