Literary Museum Vienna, Literary museum in Innere Stadt, Vienna, Austria
The Literature Museum spans three floors within the former Imperial and Royal Hofkammer Archive building, displaying Austrian literature through original manuscripts and media stations.
The building, constructed in 1848, served as the central archive for the Habsburg monarchy and housed Franz Grillparzer as archive director until 1856.
The museum exhibits works from notable Austrian writers including Arthur Schnitzler, Franz Kafka, Ingeborg Bachmann, and Thomas Bernhard across 730 square meters of space.
The museum operates Tuesday through Sunday, with extended hours on Thursdays until 9 PM, offering guided tours and English-language tablets for international visitors.
Franz Grillparzer's office remains preserved in its original condition within the museum, containing authentic furniture and personal items from his tenure.
