Completely alike as they are in their decorations and their style of architecture generally, their interior arrangement does of course in each case conform with the special requirements of the collections each is intended to receive. The lateral front, 69.38 metres long, faces the Ringstrasse the main fronts, at right angles to the Ringstrasse, run, with a length of 169 metres, parallel to each other, separated by a square which is laid out in garden plots, and is to be crowned in the centre by the monument of Maria Theresia.
