I had a great time but there really isn't much. Most of the content is in the digital exhibits where you can listen to Esperanto and other planned languages, which I don't really enjoy from a museum. You also get entrance to the globe museum, which is a bit more impressive at least visually. Worth a visit overall but don't have grand expectations

Small museum on the history of planned languages like Esperanto. Good if you are interested in the subject and in case you have one hour to spare and you are in the area. For star trek fans the museum also reference the Klingon language.

Great place if you are interested in learning more about languages and particularly about Esperanto, an interesting project that won't let you indifferent. Besides, it is dynamic and interactive and 30 minutes are more than enough to visit it and become an amateur and potential esperantist.

The world's only globe museum and the Esperanto Museum await you in the restored Palais Mollard. The unique globe museum, which is housed in Palais Mollard not far from the Hofburg, presents 240 original terrestrial and celestial globes, lunar and Mars globes. The museum shows how cartographic and cosmographic knowledge changed over the course of time and at the same time influenced the view of the world. And in the Esperanto Museum, you can learn more about Esperanto, the language of art, as well as other "planned languages".

It was interesting, but very short. If you already know a bit about the history of Esperanto, it is nice to see remnants of when it was so widespread that you had poster ads in Esperanto for chocolate or theater events, as well as some documents, but you will not learn much. If you do not know about Esperanto or wish to have someone discover its history, it is very informative and quite well done, albeit a bit short, as previously noted. The ticket is combined with a ticket to the museum of globes upstairs, which contains the biggest collection of globes in the world that is accessible to the public.

Small but very informative. The ticket also enables you to see the globe museum and the papyrus museum, which both are bigger actually. To see all three took us around 4h but may depend on your interest and how willing you are to read. It is definitely worth it and good fun!

Klein aber fein. A really nice overview and selection of materials for the Esperanto enthusiast. Also someplace to take the uninitiated for a crash course.

Real let down. No information on them background to the birth of the language or any information on how they went about creating it. Didn't learn a word of Esperanto whilst there

I'll admit, Esperanto isn't in my top interests but I had the chanceto go to the museum and it was certainly enlightening. While small, it's well structured and a fun little adventure if you're in the area with an hour to kill.

I wasn’t planning on going to this museum, but since it was included in my ticket, I decided what the heck and surprisingly I found it to be very interesting, not knowing anything about Esperanto. So it’s really fascinating to learn about his work at making one universal language and after reading and even playing one of the little games they have on display it makes a lot of sense what he was trying to do and it’s not hard either it is a small museum doesn’t take more than 30 minutes to walk down the hallway and read everything play the game and walk out.

(Last visit: Aug 2022) It's a small expo that starts with a lesson in language history, auxillary languages and their need. Its second part goes on to tie Esperanto's influence with works of art and its cultural significance throughout the twentieth century. A few interesting findings: William Shakespeare created a lot of contemporary English words, Esperanto rejects the concept of exceptions which greatly simplifies its learning curve, you don’t conjugate Esperanto as meaning is conveyed through compounding morphemes, that is collections of irreducible suffixes.

Great way to kill an hour. Ticket is very cheap and includes access to the Globe Museum and Papyrus Museum as well. Lovely little insight into the world of created languages, obviously with a focus on Esperanto. It'd be nice to see more resources available for those interested in studying the language but for such a small museum it's not a surprise they don't have any kind of shop. Expect to have the place to yourself, maybe a couple of others at worst.

Lovely little museum! The Globe museum upstairs is worth a visit at the same time. 👍

It was very tiny, u can finish it within 20 minutes, no need to come unless u are very interested in this topic.

Amazing experience in just two rooms! It's very complete and the information is true and reliable!
