Museums in Vienna – quirky and bizarre
If Vienna is known for one thing, it's for its broad history of art and culture. Not only local, but also works of art from all over the world and all epochs can be viewed in Vienna's museums. Whether modern or classic - the selection is enormous. However, if the well-known museums are a bit too run-of-the-mill for you, then you should definitely read on, because we’ll tell you five museums in Vienna that are quirky and bizarre.
A slightly different exhibition in Vienna
The “Condom Museum” in the 6th district of Vienna is lovable and different. The name says it all - because everything revolves around the condom in this fun Viennese museum. From history to bizarre contraceptive inventions and ideas, everything is included here.
For example, did you know that latex condoms have been around since the 1920s and that vegan and organic condoms are available today? In the 100 square meter shop "Liebenswert" you can browse through a wide range of condoms and fun accessories to your heart's content.
Vienna with a twist – the city is upside down
Of course, the “Circus and Clown Museum” should not be missing from the list of fun museums in Vienna. André Heller described the Vienna museum as an "archive of real dreams and dreamed reality!"
The bizarre museum serves as a source of information and a place of experience at the same time, with historical and current exhibits. Here you can find out everything about the circus, clowns, magic and Viennese entertainment venues - from history to the present day. Not only for children, this fun museum is a real highligh. Buy your ticket for an exklusive tour and show here.
Our tip: In the course of a guided tour (adapted to the respective age group) you can visit a clown show. At this point at the latest, all visitors will be conjured up an even bigger smile on their faces!
An exhibition in Vienna with a surprise effect
If you are still looking for more quirky museums, then a visit to the Confetti Museum is worthwhile. This Viennese museum is truly "different" - because it is unique in the world. The exhibition now includes over 30,000 confetti and it is constantly growing. Let yourself be surprised and plan a little time to stroll through the 7th district. There is a lot to discover here when it comes to “slightly different” places in Vienna.
Museums in Vienna with a spooky factor
This museum in Vienna is less funny and not for the faint of heart. The somewhat unusual and spooky “Vienna Criminal Museum” is located in Leopoldstadt. Here you will find the most sensational Austrian crimes of the last centuries, as well as the most diverse types of capital punishment. In addition to detailed murder reports from the Middle Ages to the present: the arc spans from the billboards of the Moritat singers to leaflets with biographies of famous criminals to today's newspaper reports.
Crime scene photos, court texts and relics of executed criminals make this museum in Vienna a bizarre memorial.
Our tip: After your visit, enjoy a drink in the café in the courtyard of the building - it forms a very friendly contrast to the Vienna Crime Museum.
Vienna with a twist and full of enjoyment
Last but not least, we introduce you to a fragrant visit to the “Coffee Museum”. Like no other place, this covers the entire history of the black bean and gives extensive insights into the Viennese coffee house culture, which is unique worldwide and has now been awarded “UNESCO cultural heritage” status. Here you can learn everything about the delicious drink - from the harvest to the steaming cup.
And for all those who want to taste the coffee, we offer a special experience in the center of Vienna. On this tour, you will become an expert on Viennese coffees.
