Das Heeresgeschichtliche Museum-Vienna

[southsando]

I visited a couple cities in Germany and Austria for the Christmas Season in 2015 and made a stop at the Austrian Military Museum in Vienna. I highly recommend it as it is one of the best museums I have visited. It is in the old Arsenal and the building's architecture is as fascinating as the collections. Here are some pics, on my old 2016 technology phone... these are some of Kronprinz Rudolf's helms.

And for anyone interested in the short-lived Mexican Empire.

And who does not like a good Weihnachtsmarkt picture or two (it was the main reason we went).

Yes, that’s an excellent museum, I’ve been there myself a few years ago and it was fantastic!

Great photos thanks for sharing the Army Museum in Wien is for me the most beautiful when you first enter and see the Architecture, statues and staircase it's almost like entering a Church.

I'm a huge Napoleonic and Siege of Wien fan as well so for me the collection was just incredible you add in the items from the Army of Fredrick the great and the WWII collection and it's just incredible even the gift shop had good coffee. Yeah, I really love Wien great big city with plenty to see and do. Thanks for sharing it always brings up great memories.
