Traveler reviews
Yulan Zhou
★★★★★2 months agoIt’s a hidden gem among all the museums in Vienna with top notch curation of various cultural and historical collections and it’s for free! I gave it about two three hours and clearly this is not enough. I’d recommend at least four hours. It’s definitely worth the trip.
Amoena O.
★★★★★a month agoDefinitely worth visiting - especially since the permanent exhibition is free. If you don’t like it, you can leave. However, there is something for everyone. There are paintings, furniture, models, everyday objects, history, clothes… the list goes on and on! I am sure everyone can find something they enjoy. I also noticed that the whole museum seems very accessible so I am sure that people with disabilities can also enjoy their visit.
