In the midst of all the hectic bustle of the Stephansplatz underground stop, the Wien Museum takes the visitor to a hidden treasure of art and cultural history: in the fourteenth century, the subterranean chapel of St. Virgil, Vienna's most important surviving Gothic interior, built around 1250 as "capella subterranea" under the Chapel of St. Mary Magdalene, served as the tomb of a rich Viennese merchant family.
Long forgotten, it was rediscovered during construction of the underground in 1973. Its history has never been entirely clarified. The anteroom houses an additional exhibition on the development of Viennese ceramics from the tenth to the nineteenth century
