Visit to Vienna

[GardeUlan]

Last week I had the opportunity to visit the Museum of Military History (Heeresgeschichtliches Museum) in Vienna. For me, it was a journey into the past, as I first went there with my parents in 1983. The museum is truly a very special place, and anyone who has the time and interest should definitely go and see it. Here‘re some pictures.

Best wishes,

GardeUlan

Wow what a fabulous museum ! I love the Austrian headgear. I have a couple of pieces Uhlan and an Officers Kepi. And the actual car and Uniform of the Late Duke. Great stuff. Rob

Wonderful pictures that's for taking time to share.


I love the Heeresgeschichtliches Museum it's so beautiful it's almost like a Cathedral for Military nuts inside.

Some of my favorites were the Napoleonic collection and the items related to the Siege of Wein. It's just such a wonderful experience with so many items you will never see anywhere else.

Thank you very much for your comments!

You got me there - I forgot to post pictures of the Napoleonic section. The siege of Vienna and the Ottoman wars section was unfortunately closed on that day.
