J	Justin Addison on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Real let down. No information on them background to the birth of the language or any information on how they went about creating it. Didn't learn a word of Esperanto whilst there
E	Emilio Maggio on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Small museum on the history of planned languages like Esperanto. Good if you are interested in the subject and in case you have one hour to spare and you are in the area. For star trek fans the museum also reference the Klingon language.
D	Daniel Hernández-Benito on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great place if you are interested in learning more about languages and particularly about Esperanto, an interesting project that won't let you indifferent. Besides, it is dynamic and interactive and 30 minutes are more than enough to visit it and become an amateur and potential esperantist.
B	Brigitte Herron on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I'll admit, Esperanto isn't in my top interests but I had the chanceto go to the museum and it was certainly enlightening. While small, it's well structured and a fun little adventure if you're in the area with an hour to kill.
A	Alice_ nailart_Wonderland on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Small but very informative. The ticket also enables you to see the globe museum and the papyrus museum, which both are bigger actually. To see all three took us around 4h but may depend on your interest and how willing you are to read. It is definitely worth it and good fun!
O	Oscar Beighton on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great way to kill an hour. Ticket is very cheap and includes access to the Globe Museum and Papyrus Museum as well. Lovely little insight into the world of created languages, obviously with a focus on Esperanto. It'd be nice to see more resources available for those interested in studying the language but for such a small museum it's not a surprise they don't have any kind of shop. Expect to have the place to yourself, maybe a couple of others at worst.
D	Dan on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ I had a great time but there really isn't much. Most of the content is in the digital exhibits where you can listen to Esperanto and other planned languages, which I don't really enjoy from a museum. You also get entrance to the globe museum, which is a bit more impressive at least visually. Worth a visit overall but don't have grand expectations
G	Gregor Petri on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The world's only globe museum and the Esperanto Museum await you in the restored Palais Mollard. The unique globe museum, which is housed in Palais Mollard not far from the Hofburg, presents 240 original terrestrial and celestial globes, lunar and Mars globes. The museum shows how cartographic and cosmographic knowledge changed over the course of time and at the same time influenced the view of the world. And in the Esperanto Museum, you can learn more about Esperanto, the language of art, as well as other "planned languages".
