Very good capture of Austrian military history. The WWI wing was especially captivating. Gorgeous artistry throughout the museum. Downloading the Hearonymous app allows you to dive deeper into certain items by inputting the number. Unfortunately the WWII area was being renovated, but it's scheduled to reopen later…
