We purchased skip-the-line tickets via Viator and rented the self-guided audio headsets (I think they were around $5 each, maybe a little more). The collection of art is beautiful, spanning many different periods. Their most famous piece is Klimt's The Kiss. I'll be honest -- I didn't know much about Gustav Klimt before, but after seeing his work, I'm now a big fan. After touring the art museum, stroll through the vast gardens. They are beautiful, both in the front and back.

Other special exhibit on those landscape painters was awesome, no-brainer to have those works of Vienna in Vienna are you kidding? phenomenal work team. 10/10 on that one, notes and explanations very informative and explanatory (as they should be) main collection - breathtaking ngl. room after room of masterworks (that ive seen before! ) and had no idea that were here. enormous religious works to chiaroscuro tea and dutch floral still lives and Velasquez Hapsburg portraits and actually good interesting vanitas that isn't just pandering wannabe goth slop yes yes yes. fire. there was one painting of a guy made entirely of fish and that really made my day. good job guys. the organization of the main collection was a little bit crazy but it's completely fine, honestly added to the awe of it all kunstkammer or whatever the fuh the royals' own art collection was genuinely amazing if you guys were forced to pick a floor of this place to save from a fire it better be this one. unfortunately on par/better than the painting collection sorry if that's potentially explosive and controversial. architecture fire and tea, decor excellent roman/greek/egyptian I did NOT get to see because of the closing time... my fault I got there at three mb mb mb . . . . . return that stuff to Egypt tho y'all why is a sarcophagus on the Danube anyways 10.5/10 if you miss this you better not ever forgive yourself

Okay, what was I doing in a chocolate museum last week? I don't really like chocolate very much…read more(give me fruits or nuts any day) but the people I was giving a tour of Vienna to had read about the Schocko Museum at the Heindl and Pischinger Chocolate Factory located in Liesing in the deep south of Vienna and wanted to go. It's kind of hard for me to rate this experience. Here's what you see. You visit two production rooms in the factory itself which you view through glass panels. Okay this part is not like visiting Willy Wonka's Chocolate Factory. Then there is a movie as much about the history of Heindl's as it is about making chocolate. But the best part of the museum is the exhibition on the history and production of chocolate. In the middle of this exhibition is a chocolate fountain where you can taste the flowing assortments of dark, milk, and white chocolates. For me I found that chocolate tastes better as a liquid flowing from a fountain than it does in a cake or ice cream. There were lots of Heindl's and Pischinger's chocolate candies around to sample and there's also a company store where you receive a discount if you show your museum ticket. Most importantly, the people I was providing a tour of Vienna to enjoyed themselves at the Schocko Museum so that made me happy as well.

You see a movie which is pure advertising for the company and little history about the actual chocolate process. Then you go through 2 small rooms that display pictures of the actual process of chocolate making and molds of the different shapes of chocolates made, also here you can sample drips of chocolate from encased fondue fountains of white, milk, or dark. You go through the door to another small area of the factory where there is minimal work being done..a few people are putting chocolates in bags from the conveyer belt. They give you a 10% coupon to visit their shop to so you can spend more money on their chocolate. This place is over advertised and expensive for what is seen. The chocolate is not fair trade..which I find disappointing.

I enjoyed the exhibit on the Vienna Philharmonic (with artifacts from the Philharmonic and a screening room where you can watch/listen to concerts); Sonotopia (an interactive exhibit with experiments relating to sound); and a room with large instruments, where you can learn about how the instruments generate their sounds. The museum was fun, because it was so interactive and because its exhibits explore a range of issues and information relating to sound and music. We didn't have a ton of time to explore, but we had a good time. I think it would be fun and interesting for a range of people (from kids to older fans of classical music). If you need a break from art museums and palaces, Haus der Musik might be a nice change of pace!

Coming to the Mozarthaus was an absolutely incredible museum experience…read more We got to learn SO much about the works of Mozart and enjoy the experience with so many people that love music and his masterpieces. It was an amazing bonding experience with people I've never seen or will ever see before. Just being in the same room with people sharing the same interest and love for such a legend, was truly humbling. We spent a couple of hours here and really enjoyed everything about it. There were some interactive elements and it was so cool getting to be in the same HOUSE that Mozart lived in and composed. 10/10 recommend if you're in Vienna, even if you don't know much about Mozart, it's something you'll walk our from feeling so rich.

It was interesting to see that this was where he lived. There were multiple rooms and displays with information about his life and career. While I enjoy classical music, I'm not terribly well-versed, though I'm sure Mozart nerds will enjoy exploring the rooms. Was able to walk through Mozarthaus under 1 hour. It's a short walk from St Stephen's Cathedral and easy to find with the help of Google Maps.
