Best History museum in austria

G	Gregor Petri on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The Haus der Geschichte Österreich (abbreviated HdGÖ, proper spelling: hdgö) is an Austrian contemporary history museum in the Neue Burg (Hofburg) in Vienna. Its founding director is historian Monika Sommer-Sieghart. It opened on 10 November 2018 around the celebrations of the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Republic of Austria.
S	Sercan Ak (Chuck) on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Small, but has everything that a museum could offer. They shown and explained things about Austria in about ~100 years ago. Guided tours were also available there.
J	James Bonin on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Having gone to the Sisi Museum in the morning in this one in the afternoon I much preferred this one. It’s a shame it wasn’t more popular as it does have an interesting perspective on Austrian history. I found the exhibitions informative although I would’ve liked a bit more on the years between 1945 and 1955. The Second museum which you get access to has a great collection of Greek and Roman art although it’s a bit strange that the two are juxtaposed together. Absolutely fantastic building as well.
K	Krisztina Salamon on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Great double language exhibition about the history of Austria.
M	Marije Hazelhoff on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Very chaotic and confusing. Chronological order (or any other logical order) is hard to find. It seemed like a incoherent collection of stories and pictures that together barely make up a story. It's only about the last 100 years, but this chaotic collection of information in two rooms didn't feel like it even covered that. I felt overwhelmed by the lack of structure, but completely underwhelmed by how the horrors of everything around WWII and the role of Austrian people in this were told. Not worth €8.
A	Anna Ageieva on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ If you have much time and would like to get lots of information about Austrian history, you will need to visit this museum. I agree with other comments that it’s a little bit chaotic.
S	Sherry B. on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Good information about the history of Austria after the fall of the monarchy. A bilingual explanation (German and English) for most of the exhibit is of great help. The signage for the previous name of the town 'Fugging' is displayed here. Conchita Wurst (who won the Eurovision contest) / gown is there too.
E	Elena Kmetova on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Really not your everyday classic history museum. Very interactive and visual, with a lot of food for thought and good bilingual captions. Note the audio guide (free service) is only available in German, yet the captions and text available are more than enough. I am not sure it would be interesting for young kids and toddlers, but they offer a quizz and a rally for the older ones. The current temporary exhibition is thrilling and the adjacent Ephos Museum is fascinating. Totally recommend.
