Official Review: “Technical Museum” (Vienna)

Well-hid behind a park, this museum requires you to burn your carbs before you’re to find yourself among trains, carriages, forging equipment, water mills and turbines, typewriters, harpsichords and organs.

A fifteen-minute walk from Schonbrunn, one of the must-see’s of Vienna.

So if you’re to visit West Vienna, you might as well include this in your itinerary.

GENRE. This is a complicated attraction, more like a combination of a museum of science and industrial development with transport as a main course and chocolate sprinkles of musical instruments.

(In this wheel chair experience (clip), you turn the wheels and bump into all kinds of stuff as the chair vibrates your bum off. Safety belt not included.)

If you’d rather see what technology has done to Vienna – upstairs you’ll see an exhibition of what it’s like when Vienna has been going through industrialization (and urbanization) and the rise and geography of electricity.

SOCIAL SCIENCE NERDS. On E3 there’s a discussion on the social aspects of technology – world hunger, industrial strikes, immigration, etc. Geographic data presented.

Time is asset: save it for better with 25-min museum tours. Or find yourself in my novel, check out the photo of the day and finish it off with a secret prize.
