After visiting Mozarthaus, I enjoyed a long walk exploring Vienna and walking all the way to visit here. Walking through Sigmund Freud's apartments and office where he practiced felt clinical, which made sense, given his line of work. When I told the guy working at the ticket counter I was a student and qualified for a student discount, he asked me for my age. Rude, you don't ask a lady for her age. A nice history museum to visit while in Vienna.

Hmm.. it was a nice experience but not exactly what we expected…read more We learned that Sigmund Freud fled Austria and took virtually all of his things with him... so the museum were just the bones of his apartment with placards throughout with information on them... The energy was good, I'm glad we went, but I probably wouldn't go out of my way again.

The museum is divided into 6 sections - and numbered for your convenience to follow the path of Beethoven.

There is a little shop to get some souvenirs, and you also get a voucher for a free wine tasting at the place where he was inspired to write Symphony No. 9. Review for the winery to follow.

The Hunderwasser movement and style was totally new to me, but I got a detailed and beautiful look at the history. The collection is really amazing, and you could spend a long time being mesmerized by the pieces. The building itself is worth a visit. There are lots of random mosaics, interesting use of glass, a few straight corners. Also, the floors aren't flat!

The workshop had people from all over the world, which was fun. One family, a French bridal shower, tourists. Everybody! You do not temper the chocolate, but will receive instructions on how to do that on the back of the certificate you receive. Making the 3 different chocolate bars was creative and fun!

And if you don't read German, be aware that there are many items not translated into English here. But if you do go, the Kriminalmuseum has a lot of cool and interesting exhibits on the underside of Vienna. I was fascinated by it and the characters I met here. This is not for the feint of heart. Be prepared to view mummified and skeletal remains of some of the perpetrators as they were often preserved to delve deeper into why some people do bad things. This museum should be really popular around Halloween!

Apparently, Vienna was the murder capital of the world at one time. The displays are not for the faint of heart and it is not a feel-good place by any stretch of the imagination. But I think the displays are intriguing and they tell an interesting story if taken in perspective. If the shock value is going to be a debilitating distraction (and it is for many people), then it is not worth going. But if you can get past that to view it as an historical treatise (past two centuries particularly) on crime and punishment, it is worth a visit. It presents tales of greed, power and intrigue in ways that present the corrupt and morally bankrupt side of humanity; something of which we all should remain aware even if we don't like to dwell on it. Presented here are many cases of murder but also assassination attempts, political lynchings, fraud, counterfeiting, etc. I was particularly interested in the 20th Century displays and, as a WWII buff, found the coverage of the Nazi era to be particularly fascinating. It is interesting that I had the chance to go through this museum and the Red Cross Museum in Geneva within months of each other. They are fascinating contrasts of two sides of the same coin. We just like to the acknowledge one more than the other.
