Weltmuseum Wien

Huge museum with many rooms and a lot of very interesting artifacts and exhibits. It was an impressive museum for the price, definitely worth it if you are interested in music or military historical artifacts. The best part was that they let people try some of the restored instruments like the harpsichords!

This was a fun museum to experience. There is a music instrument section you can actually play on some. They also have some armor on display. Some nice history to read about and ponder about.

Beautiful building. Really nice personnel. Still to me a bit boring, exponents didn’t start excitement in me for some reason. Kids enjoyed the drawing Ecke the most.

Royal rooms with beautiful presentation of objects collected by Austrian big shots and "researchers" during the last centuries, mostly art. Various special exhibits. The current ones, European islam and windows of colonialism are rather short and superficial. Great selection of old pianos but without being able to hear their sounds, half the fun. Great that they open till 21:00 on Tuesday

One of the best museums I visited in Vienna. The armoury had an absolutely incredible collection or armour. The section on musical instruments was also fascinating.

Hello. I am an Albanian visitor and came primarily to see Skanderbeg’s sword and helmet. The label was extremely brief and disappointing. Considering how much care is taken to provide detailed provenance and historical context for many other objects—pianos, musical instruments, textiles, shoes, metal pieces, etc.—it feels unfair that an object of such national significance received only a minimal description. The visitor statistics shown at the entrance also indicate a notable share of Albanian-speaking guests, which makes this omission even more regrettable. This is a one-star review directed solely at this specific issue, not at the museum as a whole. I hope you will consider adding fuller information on the origin, history, and significance of Skanderbeg’s arms.

The Weltmuseum Wien in the Hofburg Palace offers a remarkable journey through world cultures with over 30,000 objects from Asia, Africa, and the Americas, about 3,000 of which are on display. The highlight is the last remaining Aztec quetzal feather headdress, a truly unique treasure. Your ticket includes access to three exhibits: the ethnographic collection on the first floor, plus the impressive medieval armor and Museum of Ancient Instruments on the second floor. With its rich collections and engaging displays, the Weltmuseum is a must-visit cultural gem in Vienna. There is a cafe on site. To fully experience the vast exhibits, plan to spend at least 3-4h there.

There are a lot of things to see, but not a lot. If you've been walking around and having a sore foot, it might be hard to look around here. But the exhibition was interesting.

Amazing museum-the highlight must be the helmet and sword of Albanian historical figure , Skanderbeg (Gjergj Kastrioti ( c. 1405 - 17 January 1468)) who impressed me with his resolve to be who he truly was, with the sense of wisdom and loyalty unseen. I stood in awe in Vienna museum watching an original Skenderbeg armor and i felt reverent like a pilgrim, along with a group of Albanian women and men who could not leave the peace, taking the pictures and soaking every detail.

I like this museum is the museum has a lot to see. It is worth a visit. This museum main display non European art and history. There are many art from Asia. This includes China and India. There are some display from the country I not even heard of. The display is very detail. Some collection is very unique and not normally seen. Such as use title shell as music instruments. There is a display of Latin art showing the multi house on top each with way of life. There is a African hand made straw item for Virgin Mary. Clothing that is colorful display. One thing surprising me is the display from my home country was as detail as I can imagine. It is great collection. The other chamber includes musical instruments throughout Europe. Some play famous people such as Mozart. The instruments display has huge collection with some of them very rare.

The Welt Museum (World Museum) in Vienna has reopened this week after a couple of years of being renovated and reconceived. Sometimes with museums that reconceive and dispay anew their holdings, I wonder why they bother. But not in this case The new installations are a total wow! They truly highlight the quality of this important ethnographic and anthropological collection. Did you know that many of the most famous objects come from Archduke Franz Ferdinand's well-documented around-the-world voyage? Others originate from other Habsburgs travellers and Austrian researchers and explorers. Perhaps the spectacular Aztec green feather headdress is the most famous item on display here but I am sure you will find many others you might admire even more. Each one of the 14 galleries of the permanent collection is worth visiting and there will always be a changing exhibition on the ground floor. Well done Welt Museum!! Tip - Your ticket also allows you to view one of the world's largest Arms and Armory collection on the first floor. The highlights here are the Emperor Maximilian's personal armor..

The now called "Weltmuseum" is a great international place where you can find really all kinds of cultural festivals, workshops (this weekend f.e. creating catrinas for dia de las muertas), people, (foto)exhibitions etc.besides the regular Museum exhibitions, which are also always worth seeing for all intercultural interessted people. It is very usefull to habe a regular check on the websites because they offer from real Argentinian tango course, over Indonesion figth art & danceperformance until dia de las muertas festival really a great portfolio of virouse things. The people are really nice and open and most of the time you get delicouse international food as well. Most of the times the festivals are free, sometimes combined with a regular entrance ticket and sometimes you have to pay (f.e. Tango classes cost 15€/day) Its also a great spot where you can take your kids!
