***You
MUST
visit
this
amazing
museum***
I
was
in
Vienna
with
my
son
last
week
and
was
thrilled
when
I
discovered
that
this
museum
exists,
it
is
a
film
lover's
dream
and
doesn't
disappoint.
The
Third
Man
museum
is
open
from
2-6pm
on
Saturdays.
There
are
lots
of
original
props,
room
sets
and
items
relating
to
the
film
together
with
pictures
and
articles
from
post-war
Vienna.
These
provided
a
new
dimension
as
I
saw
the
reality
of
that
time
and
how
it
tied
in
with
the
film.
Previously
I
had
seen
the
film
as
a
story,
and
now
I
view
it
as
social
commentary.
The
museum
is
privately
owned
and
funded
by
Gerhard
Strassgschwandtner
and
Karin
Hofler.
They
search
all
over
the
world
for
pieces
to
add
to
their
collection
and
the
placement
of
the
pieces
follow
the
same
route
as
the
film.
It
is
a
true
homage.
Gerhard
and
Karin
are
delightful
people
and
we
were
able
to
spend
a
little
time
talking
with
them
about
the
museum
and
the
genre
in
general.
I
love
learning
and
I
gained
lots
of
new
knowledge
from
talking
to
them.
Gerhard
is
the
Third
Man
oracle
and
his
enthusiasm
is
infectious.
This
was
the
highlight
of
my
holiday
and
I
know
that
we'll
be
returning
the
next
time
we're
in
Vienna.
I
left
the
museum
walking
on
air
from
the
experience
plus
the
bonus
of
talking
to
like-minded
people.
Thank
you
Gerhard
and
Karin.
Do
not
miss
the
opportunity
to
visit
this
great
museum
when
you're
in
Vienna.
Be
sure
to
comment
here
and
on
social
media
as
this
little
museum
deserves
a
wider
audience.
After
your
visit,
go
to
Prater
for
a
ride
on
the
famous
Wiener
Riesenrad
ferris
wheel
that
appears
in
the
film.
