    Really cool, unique place to have a coffee and visit the post/bank museum. Coffee was good, same as the desserts. They also have some lunch/brunch options, they looked tasty. Museum entrance is free and it takes maximum half an hour to see.

    This is the first time that I write a review for a place. Located in the touristy area of center Vienna, this museum is completely free with stunning architecture both interior and exterior. Ample materials to get a teaser of how Wagner as a genius has deeply influence buildings in times. MUST SEE. Avoid those expensive museums if you just have one day.

    We came in for the architecture and it did not dissapoint. You can even sit down an drink something in the post hall. Bonus, there were two very interesting exhibitions going on inside which were free!

    For the Otto Wagner 100th year death anniversary, the Postal Savings Bank is open for public visit for ablimited time. Very beautiful building and excellent exhibition allowing one to know the history of Austria's banking system.

    This is an amazing place to visit. One of the numerous Otto Wagner's architectural masterpieces. You can visit Otto Wagner's museum inside which tells the story of the building in all the detail. A perfect addition to your visit might be drinking a cup of delightful coffee in the main hall. A must visit place for Wagner fans

    I'm pretty impressed by this building, of course because of the history and architecture but the main reason is the new features for artists, children's classes, café, museum, etc. I'm so glad that this icon is multifunctional and adapted to today's times. I would love to see more buildings in Europe find a meaningful use like here.

    The Austrian Postal Savings is a famous building in Vienna, designed and built by the architect Otto Wagner. The building is regarded as an important work of Vienna Secession, Branch of Art Nouveau.

    Built from 1904 to 1906 als k.k. Postsparcassen-Amt (Postal Savings Bank) by Otto Wagner, renovated 2004. Sold 2013 to the Signa Holding, at the moment (2018, until end of September) there is a exhibition together with the MAK (Museum für angewndte Kunst, museum of applied art) about the architect Otto Wagner, free in the Postsparkasse. but the MAK (nearby on Stubenring)) is not free. What will be after the end of the exhibition is not known yet.

    Very cool place, but the museum has closed down! Can only go inside the lobby. It is free, and a pretty cool excursion if you're into architecture. Designed by Otto Wagner and is right across the street from the old ministry of war building that is pretty cool to see too. Will only take about 10-15 minutes to see everything

    Some departments of the university of applied arts in Vienna are active here. As well as AIL, Angewandte Interdisciplinary Lab. The main hall and exhibitions of AIL are open to public. You may as well have a nice Coffee, some drinks or food at the Cafe there. The building itself is a must see in Vienna, and if you are lucky you may have the chance to visit some performances which are usually taking place close to the end of the week, but not usually weekends.

    A must-see for anyone interested in architecture. Full of innovations from the birth of modernist architecture. The small museum was a bit down-at-heel, tucked in behind the main hall, but it was free to walk in and see construction plans, photos and other details.

    Not over-comunicated but this is actually a small museum, dedicated to the history of the building. Free entry, no crowds! Very nicely renovated!

    Otto Wagner's Postsparkasse. Beautiful architecture. Interior was locked in the weekend unfortunately.

  • 3/5 Michael M. 2 months ago on Google • 11 reviews New
    One of the architecture masterpieces of Otto Wagner was transformed into a multi functional space for offices and universities. Unfortunately the renovation took a lot of charme away. There is also no info point on the history of the building.
