Weltmuseum Wien, Ethnographic museum in Innere Stadt, Austria.
The Weltmuseum Wien displays over 250,000 ethnographic objects, photographs, and printed works across fourteen thematic exhibition rooms within the Imperial Palace complex.
Founded in 1876 as the Ethnographic Museum, the institution expanded its collections through Habsburg archdukes' journeys and acquisitions from international expeditions.
The museum's permanent collection includes artifacts from British explorer James Cook and a Mexican feather headdress, representing global cultural connections.
The museum opens Tuesday from 10:00 to 21:00 and Wednesday through Sunday from 10:00 to 18:00, with standard admission at 16 euros.
Audio guides in ten languages lead visitors through twenty stops that detail the Habsburg dynasty's 650-year history through selected exhibition objects.
