This is a great museum. I recommend you see the movie before you come to the museum. It has two parts one about the movie and the other about the history of Vienna during and after WWII. Even if you know nothing about the movie, the historical aspects of Vienna during and just after WWII are well worth the price of admission. The museum is only open one or two days of the week and for limited hours but it is worth planning a visit.The museum captures the excellence of a film that I originally saw as a child and have enjoyed many times over 70 years. The rooms cleverly surrounds the visitor with the Vienna associated with the film. We visited as part of a particularly special birthday holiday in Vienna. Very recommended.

What a special and interesting experience. Not only about the movie, which I recommend to see before (but it's not required), but about Vienna in the 20th Century, from before WW2 to some decades later. True documental evidence and memorabilia about those years, and knowledge I found unique and memorable. I have been to many museums in Vienna, and seeing The Third Man Museum, in hindsight, made a more indelible memory, because more than a run of the mill museum for my collection of tourist visits in all the great cities, this feels like a labor of love and becomes so unique, and memorable. It is not large in extension but it is all very condensed, so be prepared to take your time, move slowly, and taste all the different nuances that you are being shown... while this lasts, because I don't know how they can make it sustainable with this price...If you’re even a passive fan of The Third Man, or just interested in Vienna’s postwar history, you definitely need to make a trip to The Third Man museum.

If you’re even a passive fan of The Third Man, or just interested in Vienna’s postwar history, you definitely need to make a trip to The Third Man museum. We kicked off our first evening in Vienna with a screening (via Amazon) of The Third Man. (We’d both seen it before but wanted a refresher.) This museum is absolutely fantastic, and the energy and enthusiasm of its founders Gerhard Strassgschwandtner and Karin Höfler is great. The museum is filled—and I mean filled—with memorabilia from the movie from around the world, such as posters and other items, but it also delves deeply into the careers and personalities surrounding the movie—from Orson Welles, Joseph Cotten, and Trevor Howard to Alida Valli, Bernard Lee, and others. One of the best aspects of this museum, however, is its connection to postwar Vienna, and the story it tells about the times and trials of people living in the chaos just after World War II. Divided into three parts, the third part of the museum explores the many struggles so many went through in postwar Vienna trying to put their lives back together after the war. Give yourself a couple of hours to take it all in, although you could fill the whole afternoon viewing everything. Also a good idea to have seen the movie—not required, but recommended. (We’ve seen a couple of ridiculous reviews from people who aren’t familiar with the movie and somehow give it a lower than excellent rating because they don’t know anything about it.) We also appreciated the fact that it’s a very reasonably priced museum and operates completely on its own, without any government/state support. Please note that it's only open Saturdays from 2-6!!!! It’s definitely a labor of love for Karin and Gerhard, and it’s worth paying a visit to on your next trip to Vienna!What an extraordinary museum!

What an extraordinary museum! I meant to spend an hour or two and spent almost three! I love the film and just got thoroughly immersed in this museum, which is as much a labor of love as it is the behind-the-scenes exploration of Carol Reed's extraordinary masterpiece. I particularly appreciated the opportunity to learn so much about post-World War II Vienna and Austria that form the background of "The Third Man." I have a crappy DVD burned off a bad 6mm print. My visit to this excellent, highly recommended museum has led me to ask for the Criterion restoration for Christmas!If you are an Orson Welles fan like me then you can't go to Vienna without checking out the Third Man Museum.

If you are an Orson Welles fan like me then you can't go to Vienna without checking out the Third Man Museum. Of all the Third Man stuff I did in Vienna, this was the best. The owners of the museum have done a beautiful job that is obviously a labor of love. I'm not going to spoil any of the surprises with this review. Suffice to say they have every piece of memorabilia associated with this film you will ever want to see, and the Cold War content is superb. I picked up a little Third Man theme music box in the gift shop and I love to annoy people with it.
