Third Man Museum

Slip into the Third Man Museum in Wieden and step back into postwar Vienna. Study film memorabilia and artefacts, and chat with the knowledgeable owners about the story behind the classic.

📖

Full description

This small museum in Wieden is devoted to the 1949 film The Third Man, set in postwar Vienna, and is packed with memorabilia and related artefacts. Reviewers praise the owners, who are knowledgeable and friendly, and note that the collection goes beyond the movie to cover the history of the period.

Opening hours are limited to afternoons, with a closure on Mondays, so timing matters. Film fans will find a remarkable level of dedication to a single title, while others gain useful context about Vienna after the war.

A short visit fits easily between other stops in the district.

Reviews

This is a wonderful museum for any fan of the movie but more importantly to understand post-war Vienna and its history. I visited as part of a Rick Steves tour so our time was limited. However, Gerhard gave a fantastic tour of the museum followed by a tour of the Kunthistorisches Museum. I recommend the book Gerhard…
