The importance of hunting should be presented to the public as an international manifestation in the economic life of the states.

In the so-called Austrian Imperial House of the exhibition, there were pictures that presented the individual kingdoms and countries.

The hunting characteristics in the different countries of Cisleithania were documented from a historical point of view through prehistoric finds, precious weapons, handicraft objects and pictures, as well as shown in their former situation through dioramas , trophies , typical game species and recreated interiors.

Egon Schiele took part in the exhibition with his watercolor “Decorative Panneau”. His contribution could be seen as No. 104 in Room VI, the hall of the Klimt Group.

The old Austrian national coat of arms was produced on the occasion of the hunting exhibition based on designs by Professors Györgyfaloy and Leopold Forstner at a cost of 20,000 gold crowns . It is now located next to the ferris wheel.
