A fascinating mixture of art and history on three floors, from the Neolithic Age to the early twentieth century. Original stained-glass windows and sculptures from St. Stephens Cathedral reflect pivotal moments of the citys history, suits of armour and the Turkish Plunder tell of the warlike encounters along the way. Maps, urban views, and two models of the city illustrate the development from medieval burghers town to a capital and royal residence. Then there are highlights from the nineteenth century: furniture, clothes, the decorative arts and painting, from Wald-mller to Amerling, providing a close-packed, in-depth view of Viennese Biedermeier. Major works by Klimt, Schiele, Gerstl and Arnold Schnberg, works from the Wiener Werksttte and the living room of Adolf Loos are only a few of the exquisite reminders of Vienna around 1900.

The Wien Museum takes you to the original locations: be the guest of the star musicians and composers. Visit the apartment where Mozart used to live, the whole Mozart clan including his dog Gaukerl, and where he wrote his opera The Marriage of Figaro. Come and visit Johann Strau on Praterstrae, where he composed The Blue Danube, or go to the Pasqualatihaus on Mlker Bastei, where Beethoven spent many years of his life. Feel the atmosphere of the Haydnhaus or the house where Schubert was born two jewels of Old Vienna. Portraits, music, personal belongings, audio samples tell of the lives and work of the great geniuses of music in their actual homes. The most important exhibit, though, is the location itself, the genius loci. Come and feel the aura!

The place to explore the history of Roman Vienna today is the very site where officers housing of the legionary camp of Vindobona once stood 2000 years ago the Roman Museum on Hoher Markt. What did Roman Vienna look like? What was life like then? The exhibition focuses on the booming town of Vindobona, when more than 30,000 people lived here: a colourful ethnic melting pot made up of native people of the region and immigrants from all parts of the Roman Empire.

The Neidhart Frescos are the oldest secular mural paintings in Vienna. The cycle of paintings from the fourteenth century shows scenes from the life and work of the minnesinger Neidhart von Reuental, also a spring festival and a roundel with banquet. The subterranean Chapel of St. Virgil is one of the best preserved Gothic interiors in the city. It was built around 1250, possibly as a funerary chapel and later served as the tomb of a rich merchant family.

Situated in the middle of the Lainzer Tiergarten is Empress Elisabeths Palace of Dreams. Nowhere else can you find such a combination of art, culture and nature! Parts of the original furnishings, the bedroom and personal belongings convey the feeling of imperial home life away from the stiff decorum of the official life at court. Also very popular are the temporary exhibitions on topics of cultural history.

In building the Stadtbahn (the light urban railway) around 1900, the great architect Otto Wagner designed two splendid pavilions for the Karlsplatz station. One of the two former station buildings houses a close-packed documentation on Otto Wagner, who produced works like the Post Office Savings Bank and the church in Steinhof, architecture to rank with the best in the world. The station building in Hietzing was designed by Wagner for the imperial family.

The Prater Museum takes you on a historical trip through an institution that was a bizarre mix of the spooky and the fascinating: Viennas Strong Men, the Bodiless Lady, the Homunculus Shoes and the Giants Suit document nineteenth century freak shows, so alien to our taste today. The show tells of the 1873 World Fair, a flop because of the threat of cholera. Other poignant memories of previous attractions add to the aura of melancholy like the dragon, the lindwurm, a relic from a long demolished grotto ride.

Every full hour, three floors of the building resound with the strikes, bells and music of the clocks. The show includes types and models from the whole world from ingenious picture clocks to technically fascinating astronomical clocks and exquisite models from the Biedermeier and belle poque eras. Take time for a trip through time!
