If you love the city of Vienna and want to learn even more about its history and culture, this museum is for you! I'm not going to recommend as a must for the first time visitor to Vienna , not because it's not a great and interesting museum, but because there are so many other attractions for a newcomer to...

Worth an hour of your time if you are at all interested in history and specifically that of Vienna as the exhibits shows it's growth and struggles More

The admission price is too high, but the collection is superlative, not to mention the building by Gottfried Semper and Carl Hasenauer, two of the major Ringstrasse architects. More

There is such a wide choice of museums in Vienna and it was confusing to know which one would give us the best on history of Vienna. This one hit the spot perfectly and was well worth €6 entry. Until 21 Aug 11 is excellent special exhibition on St Stephens church with original architect plans on show and great photos... More
