The only issue I had as an English speaker is that I needed someone to help me with what I was seeing, but this is am impressive museum in an impressive building. We attended a dinner here, and it was outstanding.

I loved this museum but I must confess to being a war and history geek so the exhibits here from the middle ages through to WW2 were right up my alley. There are a few issues if you are an english speaker. Get the audio guide it's a must and also in each hall there is a yellow handout that... More

Of all the museums, (and I've been to almost all 200 of them), this one is one of the best. The military armor display is just incredible. Well worth the price of admission.

My husband loves WWI and WWII history and this was a wonderful place to get a different perspective on what we know from growing up in America. We got a chance to learn about Austrian history prior to these wars of course, which was quite interesting. A lot of interesting facts, weapons, art, and the arsenal itself is a beautiful... More

As another review stated if you love history you will love this museum. There is a larger focus on World War I and earlier battles. Good to see some navy representation too. The audio guide is a must otherwise you miss a lot if you do not read German. They do at times have some interesting comments about crockery or... More

If you're a military history buff, this is a must see. While not as big as the Imperial War museum in London or the People's Military museum in Bejing, it certainly has a wide spectrum of great weapons, uniforms and documents spanning 1600-1945. The coolest thing is the car that Archduke Franz Ferdinand was riding in when he was assassinated... More

Purpose built by Franz-Joseph in the second half of the 19th century, no expense was spared on the paintings and sculptures of Austria's chequered military history. The building is an architectural gem as well. You will need at least half a day here.

If you like history this is the spot! You can see many artifacts from the first and the second world war, including the car and the shirt in which Franz Ferdinand was assassinated in Sarajevo.

In addition to great military artifacts (including the automobile that Archduke Ferdinand was riding in when assasinated) and weapons the murals on the walls and ceilings rival thos in some Art museums.
