Entrance fee is less than a doner. Memories will last you a while. Lifetime even if you like military history. Section dedicated to Imperial Navy was a pleasant surprise. Nikad bečki konjušar!

You seriously need to visit the wonderful place. €7 for two tickets! What value. My son and I marvelled at the statues in the entrance and portraits of past leaders from the 17th and 18th centuries upwards. Steeped in history as the photos will show. The car you will see was the one where Archduke Franz Ferdinand sat. It's a must visit attraction as the photos will present.

It’s very well priced, mainly if you compare it with other museums in the city (3.5€).

This was outstanding even in its reduced capacity. Excellent WW1 display, detailed account of Archduke Franz Ferdinand's assassination. Amazing models in the Navy hall and an exceptional collection of tanks. 2 1/2 hours well spent.

As for organization, artifacts are laid out in chronological order. There are wall ...
