Vienna Crime Museum, Criminal history museum in Leopoldstadt, Austria.
The Vienna Crime Museum presents extensive documentation of criminal cases, police methods, and justice systems from medieval times to the present in numerous exhibition rooms.
The museum stands in the Seifensiederhaus building, constructed before 1685, and received its current form after reopening as a specialized institution in November 1991.
The exhibits include street ballad illustrations, criminal biographies, newspaper articles, and artifacts spanning centuries of Austrian criminal justice development.
The museum opens Tuesday through Sunday from 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM, offering audio guides in multiple languages to complement the German-language display texts.
The collection contains materials from notable cases including the attempt on Emperor Franz Josef's life and documents about Jack Unterweger, Austria's most known serial criminal.
