B	BradJill on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ One of the specialty museums which can be visited as part of the Austrian National Museum is the Globe Museum, found at Palais Mollard, near the Imperial palace. This is a nice speciality museum, particularly for those who enjoy old world and astronomy globes The Globe Museum, has over 240 different globes on display of various shapes, sizes and ages. We very much enjoyed many of the globes on display here. We probably enjoyed Vincenzo Coronelli's terrestrial and celestrial globe (1693) the most but there were many others of interest and intrigue found at the Globe Museum. We also enjoyed the computers, only two unfortunately, set up with lots of interesting trivia and facts about the history of globe-making. Overall, we found the Globe Museum to be a good museum to visit if you have any interest in such matters, and it will be a place very much enjoyed by connoisseurs of this hobby. We spent around 45 minutes in the museum but it could easily be visited in less time for those in a hurry. At the same location you can visit the Papyrus Museum and the Esperanto Museum buying a combo ticket. This is a good way to save a bit of money if you are interested in visiting more than one of these particular small museums.

A	Andreea Alexandra Bancu on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ ??Globes for navigation instructions, globes as scientific instruments, globes as teaching aids and demonstration devices, globes in iconography and as symbols, globes in everyday life. Describing both concepts and processes, the Globe Museum will create you relevant experiences! ?? Collecting terrestrial and celestyal globes, the museum is the largest collection of globes and globe-related instruments worldwide that is open to the general public. Enjoy a great journey by travelling around the globes! ??
