A large collection tracing the rich history of the country, from the Habsburg Monarchy at the 16th century until 1945.

Explo History and Description:

This is Vienna’s oldest museum.

The first part covers the Thirty Years War, the second Turkish Siège of Vienna as well as the era of Prince Eugène of Savoy and Maria Theresa.

The part dealing with the history between the 2 world wars is particularly interesting.

Do not miss either the Austrian navy section, which was once one of the most powerful of the world. Have a look at the metal model of the Viribus Unitis battleship, the largest model in the world of this type.

Outside, behind the museum, several tanks are exposed in a garden.
