Interesting exposition, great visual examples, well ordered and explained historically. For us the most valuable were experiments in physics involving with children. Create electricity, to pick up weight with and without pulleys to run a sailboat or a robot - priceless. Acquainted with the history of the art appliances, musical instruments, vehicles and even toilets. Recommended for older children -... More

It's for Trip Advisor's map of the museum. We never got to the actual museum. After spending almost half an hour (with a 2 year old) looking for it based on TA's map, I asked in a cafe for directions and was told it wasn't even within walking distance - I would need to take the metro! Apparently it's the... More

As a Mechanical Engineering student, I absolutely loved the exhibits at the museum, and I wished that I had been able to spend more time here. There are huge exhibits on energy, industry, robotics, and steam engines, and the interactive displays are a lot of fun. This is definitely the best science museum I have ever been to. The cafe...

This is a big museum and we didn't try to cover the whole thing. We began with the musical instruments section. There were many different instruments, some of them oddities. I guess perhaps technical museums are not really my thing, but I have visited technical museums that seemed to do a better job of demonstrating how things worked and how... More

This is one of the best museums i have been to. For 10 euros each we spent 4 hours looking at everything from steam engines and scientific interest to household items many of the exhibits were interactive. I was really pleased as it was my husbands idea to go and i thought i would be bored, but just the oposite.... More

The technical museum Vienne ist very old and has a charme of its own. I love the old machinery. The museum had been completely modernized a few years ago. My favorite is the working coalmine in the basement.

Also, have a good 2 hours to spend here and bring change for a locker (deposit) i really enjoyed the museum and i am amazed at how they... More

What an experience! It was the best museum of Technologies I have ever been! So many things to see, so many things to learn, so many different categories of technology! My favorite was the transportation category, where you can see from bikes to airplanes! Perfect if you want to spend some time away from boring museums with paintings and statues!... More

We started on the fourth floor and walked into an interactive area that the kids probably love. As adults, we were hoping the whole place wasn't like that. Well, all we had to do was turn in another direction and we were hooked. Planes, trains, cars, computers, it went on and on. We were there about three hours and never... More

We enjoyed. It is large, in a beautiful building with a modern entrance. There is enough to see and very many activities for children. They can try how things work, also parents can be satisfied.
