Weltmuseum Wien, Ethnographic museum in Innere Stadt, Austria.
Weltmuseum Wien is an ethnographic museum within the Inner Palace complex that displays more than 250,000 objects from different continents. The exhibition spreads across multiple themed rooms where artifacts, photographs, and documents are presented side by side.
The museum was founded in 1876 as an ethnographic collection and grew through expeditions led by Habsburg archdukes and international explorers. Over time, these acquisitions developed into one of Europe's major ethnographic collections.
The collection shows objects from different parts of the world that were brought back by travelers and merchants over centuries. Visitors can see how these items reflect global connections and the interests of those who gathered them.
Plan your visit during regular opening hours when all exhibition areas are accessible. It is best to allow plenty of time to explore the many rooms and objects without rushing through.
The museum offers audio guides in ten languages that lead visitors through selected objects and their stories. These guided tours help visitors understand the connections between different cultures and time periods.
