The Technisches Museum in Vienna is a large museum over 4 big levels near Schönbrunn. It is very popular amongst locals, especially those with children. It isn't one of the world's great science museums but is a nice enough distraction especially on a rainy/cold day. The Museum is primarily large objects of engineering such as steam pumps, water wheels, combustion... More

The technical museum has an impressive collection of exhibits in two levels and is worth the visit for those technically inclined. There is a small childrens play area inside for children to play and there is also a good restaurant inside.

Interesting but quite old and simplistic interactive experiments, it's a good choice for a rainy/cold day.

Not an obvious choice but worth it if only to see the very first automobile built by the science tutor to heir to the throne (sorry Hr Benz)

I am a retired engineer and I was in my element here. It is a wonderful museum and laid out in a very spacious way. I could have spent my whole holiday here. One small downside, there are 'Do not touch' signs everywhere. I thought that many were unnecessary. Kids (of all ages) learn from touching and I would have... More

Exhibitions were very interesting and if you like to know how different things... More
