Anyone interested in history of Globes and see some cool globes this is your opportunity. Also in collection smallest globe the size 2,3 cm - another one at 4 cm and even huge ones at 1+m . I also loved the globes on planets and moon .

Beautiful and educational collection of terrestrial and celestial globes from the past few centuries. €5 entry which also includes the Esperanto museum (which is more of a long hallway).

The globe museum is awesome. They have an amazing collection of globes going back hundreds of years and all types of cool models. Not only is the museum cool but the building it's self is really nice. It's not super big and can be done in less then an hour. Would definitely go back.

Recommended for people who appreciate maps and cartography. The exhibition contains a significant collection of globes, allowing us to see the progress of knowledge through the last few hundred years. Also contains globes of other planets and cool astronomy instruments. I paid EUR5.00 for entry, which also allows you to access the Esperanto Exhibition.

This place was super fascinating all of the different gloves from the 15 century all the way to modern. If you like maps or globes. This is a fun way to spend 30 minutes to an hour just reading the history of globe making, and spending time looking at all the different types, including astrological and planet globes

🌎🌕Globes for navigation instructions, globes as scientific instruments, globes as teaching aids and demonstration devices, globes in iconography and as symbols, globes in everyday life. Describing both concepts and processes, the Globe Museum will create you relevant experiences! 🌍🌘 Collecting terrestrial and celestyal globes, the museum is the largest collection of globes and globe-related instruments worldwide that is open to the general public. Enjoy a great journey by travelling around the globes! 🌔🌍

I had a great time. Who knew globes used to be so very bad in the past.

It is an interesting place to visit. The museum is situated in the very heart of Vienna. Here you could see ancient globes of the Earth of various size. The collection includes also astronomical globes of the sky, all globes are hand made by ancient masters. The staff is nice and welcoming. They are ready to give explanations or show the way to find some globes of their expositions of your particular interest. However, at the moment of our visit, nearly 90% of the geographical maps were fixed in the way that you could see only America. Personally, I wanted to see Tartaria in old maps and ancient countries which existed once on Eurasian continent and I felt a little disappointed. I would like to recommend to fix various globes in the way that visitors from different countries could have the chance to find at least their continents on the geographical globes (Australia, Africa, Europe&Asia, North & South Americas). Otherwise, it seems that the whole museum was created only to satisfy tourists from Us. My opinion is that visitors want to see WHAT is shown on the ancient globe, not just looking from far on the size of the globe. Taking this into account, printed MAPs, which demonstrate the content of each globe, and texts with information about the globe, should be more available for watching and reading it, but they are mostly fixed to the walls behind the globes, which are demonstrated behind the protective glass. Thus, you could hardly see what is depicted on the globe. It is a pity also that there was not a museum shop. It would be good to have a chance to buy copies/reproductions of ancient maps or photos of globes. Anyway, it was a nice experience during our wonderful trip in Vienna. Moreover, if you are interested in globes, you could find a couple, very large ones, in the National library, the section with ancient books, open for public. It is very authentic place to visit.

Extrordinary, historical, and a master display of mathematical and Geographical master Work.

If you do like geography or astronomy you should not miss this place. Here is an impressive collection of different sizes globes representing world maps, stars, zodiac signs, measurement instruments and much more. The only museum of its kind in the world.

I am a Geographer by education. My first book was an atlas... so finding this Museum of Globes was a real treat. What a great collection of globes going back some 500 years! All kinds of globes, even celestial and planetary ones. There are only a handful of rooms but the globes are packed in and there are also interactive displays. A side benefit if you're in the museum frame of mind is that the Esperanto Museum is in the same building. Don't miss this when in Vienna!

It's a really nice museum. Such a wonderful concept to collect globes from throughout history and from all over the world. However, not much information is available in English. The globes aren't properly visible from behind the glass cases as well. I understand that they need to be protected but a 360 degree view would have been nice. The museum has no proper theme. The globes are just kept in glass cases without a coherent narrative. The tickets however are quite cheap and include access to the Esperanto museum as well.

This is a neat and niche museum showing globes (and their changes) over the years. Very worthwhile if you love globes!

HISTORY VIA CARTOGRAPHY As someone that enjoys looking at old maps, this was a gold mine for me. For the low low price of €4, I got admission to this gem and the Esperanto Museum (in the same building). Highly recommend checking this small, 3-room museum out!

This museum has a rich collection of globes from the ancient times to the recent days. You’d be amazed how our ancestors could make maps of the earth and measure distances from different locations on Earth and even our solar system. If you’re keen to learn more about cartography and topography as well as astronomy, i am pretty this museum would offer you a great head start

(Last visit: Aug 2022) It's the larger expo of the place, pertaining to the history and interests behind globe manufacturing, their industrialization and their historical and political influence. Only peeking, no touching except for interactive experiences. Don't be shy, you'll learn a few things!

Wonderful Globe Museum 🌎! Impressions are simply unforgettable! This is the place where I experienced all the magnificent astronomy. The variety of displays, details and interactive moments all make this museum truly exceptional. This museum is definitely on my list of the top 5 museums in Vienna! 🌟 He left an indelible impression in my heart and deep admiration for those who are engaged in scientific discoveries. Bravo for this wonderful cultural experience! 🎉

This is a cool little museum. You wouldn’t want a museum just focused on globes to be any bigger than this really. But it is a very fun little visit to make. For me, less about the globes and who and why they were made, more just interesting to see how our reality of the world evolved over time with our ever growing exploration and self awareness as a human race.

Good content, poor display. The globes should be in the middle of the room so you can walk around and see all sides, rather than being along the walls where only one side can be seen. The whole point is they're 3D globes, not 2D maps! Too many old globes can only be seen on the pacific ocean side when it was wholly unknown at the time so there's nothing to see.

Absolutely amazing museum for anyone, especially those interested in history, geography, or even psychology. One of my favorite exhibits was the touchscreen exhibit with a modern map overlaid on an old globe, which lets you compare how people thought continents were shaped vs how we now know they are actually shaped. I also really liked the old globes with exaggerated terrain! Youth under 19 are free, adults are €5, and the ticket includes admission to the Esperanto museum, which is also really interesting!

A gem of a museum. I love small specialized museums like this. So focused and passionate!

Nothing special about it. Beautiful but not much compared to the rest of Vienna museums

What a beautiful museum! This collection of globes is fascinating! They are open late on Thursdays and I highly recommend visiting then. Very well done!

Great museum! Learnt a lot. This museum is unique, literally! I saw Mars and Moon globes for the first time. Really deserves a visit. Plus you can visit the Esperanto museum with the same ticket.

(Translated by Google) Interesting and ideal for a short visit to the museum (Original) Interessant und ideal für einen kurzen Muesumsbesuch

(Translated by Google) Very nice to visit! (Original) Molto carino, da visitare!

(Translated by Google) On the occasion of Monument Day, we visited the Esperanto Museum and the Globe Museum. We got a great talk about the history of the language Esperanto and a very interesting, exciting talk about The World of the Globes! (Original) Anlässlich des Tages des Denkmals haben wir das Esperanto Museum und das Globenmuseum besucht. Wir haben ein tollen Vortrag über die Geschichte der Sprache Esperanto erhalten und ein sehr interessanten, spannenden Vortrag über Die Welt der Globen!

(Translated by Google) Place to do if the universe and history of globes interests you! (Original) Lieu à faire si l'univers et l'histoire des globes vous intéresse !

(Translated by Google) We were very enthusiastic about the collection. On the one hand it describes how globes were made and on the other hand it is fascinating how detailed the globes were in earlier times. The globe that was made before the discovery of America is also very interesting (the proportions as one imagined the continents were exciting). Absolute recommendation on my part. (Original) Wir waren von der Sammlung sehr begeistert. Einerseits wird beschrieben wie Globen hergestellt wurden und andererseits ist es faszinierend wie detailliert die Globen schon zu früheren Zeiten waren. Sehr interessant auch jener Globus, der vor der Entdeckung Amerika angefertigt wurde (spannend die Proportionen wie man sich damals die Erdteile dachte). Absolute Empfehlung meinerseits.

(Translated by Google) Absolutely worth seeing and diverse collection, and also impressive exhibition rooms. Invites you to linger and enjoy. It wasn't very busy at the moment, so you could look at the exhibits there in peace. However, you can do without a visit to the Papyrus Museum, which is included in the ticket price. The Esperanto Museum, which is also included, is in the same building, but not a must see either (the spatial size is also directly proportional to the distribution of Esperanto). But even for the Globe Museum alone, the ticket price is very cheap anyway, so no problem if you only visit 1/3. (Original) Absolut sehenswerte und vielfältige Sammlung, und auch beeindruckende Ausstellungsräume. Lädt zum verweilen und geniessen ein. War aktuell auch nicht sonderlich stark besucht, sodass man dort in aller Ruhe die Exponante betrachten konnte. Auf den Besuch des Papyrusmuseums welches im Ticketpreis inkludiert ist kann man allerdings verzichten. Das Esperantomuseum das auch inkludiert ist ist immerhin im selben Gebäude, aber auch kein must see (die räumliche Größe ist auch direkt proportional zur Esperanto Verbreitung). Aber auch für das Globusmuseum allein betrachtet ist der Ticketpreis ohnehin sehr günstig, also kein Problem wenn man nur 1/3 besucht.

Great museum 👌 very interesting, it took me a bit more than an hour to visit. It's really small but interesting. Good activity when you are searching for a place that is not crowded.

Hello my fellow globis. Nah just kidding. I don't really have anything to do with globes. To be fair, I just wanted to see it and that's it. And it was actually more awesome than I thought. There are so many different globes you can't imagine how big some of them are. Fun for young and old, big and small, male and female. And there is also a second museum bellow it, which is actually quite interesting. It's about the well known language Esperanto, which was used (or at least people tried to use it) as an global language. It was actually quite helpful in times of the Austria Hungarian monarchy.

It’s a really cool museum with hundreds of globes across hundreds of years. Pleasantly surprised about the collection and the description of the exhibits, an absolute recommend for globe lovers 🌎🌍🌏

Quite small but nice place to visit for people who are interested in such things!

One of the specialty museums which can be visited as part of the Austrian National Museum is the Globe Museum, found at Palais Mollard, near the Imperial palace. This is a nice speciality museum, particularly for those who enjoy old world and astronomy globes The Globe Museum, has over 240 different globes on display of various shapes, sizes and ages. We very much enjoyed many of the globes on display here. We probably enjoyed Vincenzo Coronelli's terrestrial and celestrial globe (1693) the most but there were many others of interest and intrigue found at the Globe Museum. We also enjoyed the computers, only two unfortunately, set up with lots of interesting trivia and facts about the history of globe-making. Overall, we found the Globe Museum to be a good museum to visit if you have any interest in such matters, and it will be a place very much enjoyed by connoisseurs of this hobby. We spent around 45 minutes in the museum but it could easily be visited in less time for those in a hurry. At the same location you can visit the Papyrus Museum and the Esperanto Museum buying a combo ticket. This is a good way to save a bit of money if you are interested in visiting more than one of these particular small museums.

Their mobile app (audio guide) was broken but the guard helped me get a little tour! Thank you! Super neat to see a globe without the Americas (pre- Colombus)

It's a very interesting museum with many and different kinds of globes. The ticket price is good. We paid 12€ for a family ticket (4). The entrance to the esperanto museum is included.

One of kind museum in the world. Also free access to encanto museum which is new language.

Very nice museum! 👌 Something new to learn about this topic. Near to the U-bahn station Herrengasse

Wonderful place to visit and I had it all to myself! Great place to escape the heat and crowds in Vienna.

(Translated by Google) Opened once again today since Corona. Probably one of the most informative and interesting museums on the subject of globes. Come back to find out even more exciting things on a guided tour. (Original) Heute zum 1x seit Corona wieder geöffnet. Wohl eine der informativsten und interessantesten Museen zum Thema Globen. Komme wieder um bei einer Führung noch mehr Spannendes zu erfahren.

Fascinating but not all labels are in English. General info is always bilingual though, including the interactive displays.

Bigest globe museum i've ever seen! Interested place to visit.

(Translated by Google) Museum with interesting collections. The price is more than affordable (Original) Musée avec des collections intéressantes. Le prix est plus qu' abordable

Discover the ways of how the world was thought of.

Really interesting little museum especially if you're a fan of geography/history. Some beautiful exhibits. Highly recommended if you've already visited the bigger museums in Vienna and looking for something different. The ticket price includes entry to the Esperanto museum and the Papyrus museum which is a bonus although I found these museums much less interesting!

Super cool little museum that illuminates the history of the globe. Take a tour, it guide was wonderful and clearly passionate about this little slice of history.

Not very big but very interesting.I hidden gem,I think.

Just too cute and nice - and small. But it hardly costs anything. Saw so many interesting globes from all times, even other planets - and of course other countries. Little hidden treasure of Vienna.

Increíble one in the world museum, if you are interested in the world and in the world globes. Here you can learn about all different types, it's creation and see a wide collection of globes from around the world. All sizes.

Nice little museum with lots of unique original old globes.

There's something about seeing the evolution of technology that is astonishing. An audio tour would perfect as well, but it is unlike anything I've seen before. Make sure to read through the tabs on the computers first! They are very informative and provide a look at the construction of globes! I left wanting this museum to be longer!

Great for the map/ globe centric. €5 for admission to the globe exhibition grants access to the Esperanto museum as well.

Globe museum is a great place, who loves history and maps. Especially different types of maps are fascinating.

(Translated by Google) The topic is explained very well. The exhibits are worth seeing anyway. You can take pictures without flash (Original) Sehr gut wird das Thema erklärt. Die Ausstellungsobjekte sind sowieso sehr sehenswert. Man darf ohne Blitz fotografieren

(Translated by Google) We participated in a short tour of the "Long Night of Museums". The lady has managed in this short time some information about globes, their origins and history interesting and entertaining to bring us close. The museum is consistently enlightening and offers some highly interesting exhibits. (Original) Wir nahmen an einer kurzen Führung im Rahmen der "Lange Nacht der Museen" teil. Die Dame hat es geschafft in dieser kurzen Zeit einige Informationen über Globen, deren Entstehung und Geschichte interessant und unterhaltsam uns nahe zu bringen.

Very interesting and well preserved collection of world globes. Beautiful models.

(Translated by Google) Today I stumbled on the National Day by chance to the Globe Museum 🌍 and I can only award the rating "Excellent" here. In addition to globes from the early modern period you should definitely have seen the fascinating collection of lunar and Marsgloben, a real highlight for me is a Globe of Venus from the year 1995. The Globe Museum in Vienna is the only one in the world and no one should to escape the obligation to visit this. (Original) Ich stolperte heute am Nationalfeiertag eher zufällig ins Globenmuseum 🌍 und ich kann hier nur die Bewertung "Exzellent" vergeben. Neben Globen aus der früheren Neuzeit sollte man auch unbedingt die faszinierende Sammlung von Mond- und Marsgloben gesehen haben, ein echtes Highlight stellt für mich ein Globus der Venus aus dem Jahr 1995 dar. Das Globenmuseum in Wien ist das einzige der Welt und niemand sollte sich der Pflicht entziehen, dieses zu besuchen.

(Translated by Google) A special museum with ancient and interesting globes (Original) מוזיאון מיוחד עם גלובוסים עתיקים ומעניינים

Even as someone who has never really thought about globes, this museum was very cool. All the globes are really fun to look at on their own, and the information you can read about them really adds to the experience of seeing them. There were some cool technological experiences, like a 3d model of an old globe you could turn and zoom into with a big touch screen. For the €5 admission (which includes two other museums too) it's well worth it to go if you have free time in Vienna. Not huge, but with the other two museums there is plenty to see.

(Translated by Google) Unique museum in the Herrengasse, in a way related to the National Library. Obviously mostly from a private collection, partly fascinating rooms themselves. A bit small and narrow, but therefore suitable for a short visit. (Original) Einzigartiges Museum in der Herrengasse, in gewisser Weise artverwandt mit der Nationalbibliothek. Offenbar großteils aus einer Privatsammlung entstanden, teilweise faszinierende Räumlichkeiten selbst. Etwas klein und eng, dadurch aber für einen Kurzbesuch geeignet.
