Museum is small but interesting to see. Staff working there are very attentive accommodating. Highly recommending this place:)

(Translated by Google) As the only one of its kind in Europe, the family business has been producing the original Viennese snowglobe for 116 years, which enchants tourists from all over the world and is an absolute best seller of the Christmas markets. The story of the snow globe goes back to Erwin Perzy I. The skilled surgical instrument mechanic and inventor developed by experiment with cold light and a cobbler ball finally by chance than planned the first snow globe. In 1900 he even received the emperor's honor for this idea. Open from Monday to Thursday from 9 am to 3 pm, you should definitely pay a visit to this unique museum and the associated shop for lovers. (Original) Als Einzige dieser Art in ganz Europa produziert der Familienbetrieb bereits seit 116 Jahren die Original Wiener Schneekugel, die Touristen aus aller Herren Länder verzaubert und ein absoluter Bestseller der Christkindlmärkte ist. Die Geschichte der Schneekugel geht auf Erwin Perzy I zurück. Der gelernte Chirurgieinstrumenten-Mechaniker und Erfinder entwickelte beim Experimentieren mit Kaltlicht und einer Schusterkugel schließlich mehr durch Zufall als geplant die erste Schneekugel. Für diese Idee erhielt er 1900 sogar die Ehrung des Kaisers. Geöffnet von Montag bis Donnerstag von 9 bis 15 Uhr sollte man diesem einzigartigen Museum und dem dazugehörigen Shop unbedingt einmal einen Besuch abstatten für Liebhaber ein muss.

Small snow globe factory. Since 1900. The original. With a small museum. Cute shop. Recommended if you have already seen everything in Vienna. From €7

My daughters get to choose a snow globe at the Christmas market every year. They are passionate about collecting them and we are more than impressed with the quality. This year, my daughter unfortunately lost her new one at home. I immediately ordered this ball online. Despite the holidays, the effort was made to ship immediately and it arrived quickly. We are thrilled with the snow globes and will continue to collect them diligently for the next few years. Thanks

Abit small, but absolutely amazing place. The variety of the snow globes is fabulous.

(Translated by Google) Shortly before New Year's Eve we were in Vienna and visited the museum. A small, fine museum, admission is free and a real MUST for snow globe lovers. In the shop we then bought a small snow globe suitable for the turn of the year. Nice to have you! Thanks! (Original) Kurz vor Silvester waren wir in Wien und besuchten das Museum. Ein kleines, feines Museum, der Eintritt ist frei und für Schneekugelliebhaber ein echtes MUSS. Im Shop haben wir dann noch eine kleine Schneekugel passend zum Jahreswechsel erworben. Schön, dass es Euch gibt! Danke!

(Translated by Google) Very nice ambience. Small but nice museum and also small but nice shop with a good selection. The history of the snow globe manufacture is also very interesting. The service was very friendly - this shop and the museum are definitely worth seeing. (Original) Sehr nettes Ambiente. Kleines aber feines Museum und ebenso kleiner aber feiner Shop mit guter Auswahl. Auch die Geschichte der Schneekugelmanufaktur ist sehr interessant. Die Bedienung war sehr freundlich - allemal ist dieser Shop und das Museum sehenswert.

(Translated by Google) A very special world of fairy tales to marvel and rejoice and especially for people who are looking for a special, original souvenir. There are even made to order, and they are amazingly cheap! I was immediately fascinated by the delightful shop and would love to come back! Please, dear team from the original Wiener Schneekugelmanufaktur, stay healthy and stay with us for a very long time with this wonderful piece of Vienna !! (Original) Eine ganz spezielle Märchenwelt zum Staunen und Freuen und vor allem für Menschen, die ein besonderes, originelles Mitbringsel suchen. Es werden sogar Anfertigungen auf Wunsch gemacht, und die sind geradezu verblüffend günstig! Ich war von dem entzückenden Laden sofort fasziniert und komme gerne wieder! Bitte, liebes Team von der Original Wiener Schneekugelmanufaktur, bleibt gesund und bleibt uns mit diesem wundervollen Stück Wien noch sehr lange erhalten!!

A very inspiring place. Most diverse selection of these wonderful snow globes.

A great little shop - you immerse yourself in another world. In the background is the factory and a snow globe museum. Snow globes come in all sizes with a variety of fun and amazing content! Charming young saleswoman who doesn't get upset by even the biggest Christmas hustle and bustle!!!

A history of the Snow globe, from it's fortunate creation, to it's global export and popularity. A nice little museum, well worth visiting :)

It was nice, but I would prefer to see how they make it rather than just seeing fansy snowballs. Anyhow, it is nice but not something to say one has to visit it. If you had really extra time you can visit it.

Delight!

Very nice place!

If we could give 10 stars, it would still be too few! The family loves their snow globes with all their hearts! It was extremely interesting to hear the whole story. We'll definitely come back!!!

Great to see how globes are made. Definitely worth a visit

Wonderful

First, you have to go up to the end of a tram line, so it's very far away from the city centre. Second, I don't know where the young woman in charge learnt about welcoming customers, especially foreigners, for sure she didn't pass the final tests about the subject. She greeted an Austrian family with children as if they were the best VIPs in the world, the right thing to expect, but as we came in just after them, her welcoming was the worst I've ever received in Vienna, and that's saying a lot about that city. After 5 minutes she DISAPPEARED from the shop and we were waiting for her to pay for our souvenirs for more than 10 minutes. I'd recommend her to attend some course of customers assistance or just come to Spain to see how we deal with clients. Definitely, I don't recommend to waste more the one hour of your valuable time visiting that place, it isn't worth it. We visited the place on 29th Dec. 2023 at about 3.30 pm

The museum part is located on the ground floor of the building. It's a small and modest place. While visiting the museum, you take the snow globe you like with you and make the payment on the sales floor above.

They produce beautiful snow globes!

(Translated by Google) I ordered a snow globe with special requests. It turned out beautiful and the price is okay too. (Original) Habe eine Schneekugel bestellt mit Sonderwünschen. Sie wurde wunderschön und der Preis ist auch in Ordnung.

Love it plenty of varieties very friendly and fast service

(Translated by Google) The snow globes are just beautiful. "Right now you are making me dream of Vienna." (Original) Die Schneekugeln sind einfach wunderschön. 😍Gerade in der jetzigen Zeit lassen sie mich von Wien träumen.🔮

Super freundlich, eine Adresse für ein besonders Geschenk

Wir sind von unserem Hotel 4 km gelaufen um das wundervolle Handwerk zu bewundern. Dann der Schock, es war eigentlich geschlossen. Doch die Chefin hat uns reingelassen und wir durften alles besichtigen. Das ist Service! Danke dafür! Muss man gesehen haben! Liebe Grüße. Britta und Silvio aus Rostock.

Eine tolle, schön anzusehende kleine Handarbeitsgeschäft-Werkstatt. Eine sehr große Auswahl an handgefertigten Kugeln steht zur Auswahl. Es werden auch Sonderanfertigungen mit individuellem Auftrag angeboten. Sehr nette Mitarbeiterin.

Not worth the journey

lovely place and very nice staff, it was truly a highlight of my trip to Vienna <3

(Translated by Google) Wonderful little museum and showroom of the original snow globe (Original) Herrlich kleines Museum und Verkaufsraum der Originalen Schneekugel

So herzig. Riesenauswahl von Schneekugeln. Sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter. Liebhaber kommen auf ihre Kosten. Das kleine Museum ist recht informativ. (Translated by Google) So lovely. Huge selection of snow globes. Very friendly staff. Lovers get their money's worth. The small museum is quite informative.

(Translated by Google) Very pretty little museum on the history of the snow globe with a shop. Very friendly and definitely worth a visit. (Original) Sehr hübsches kleines Museum zur Geschichte der Schneekugel mit Shop. Sehr freundlich und definitiv ein Besuch wert.

(Translated by Google) Nice little museum with shop. The owners put their heart and soul into it and if the senior chef has time, you get a private tour including the history of the snow globe from Erwin I to Erwin III. Very interesting and just beautiful. And the special highlight: if a wheelchair user comes, a ramp is built without further ado :) Definitely recommend to stop by there during a trip to Vienna. (Original) Nettes kleines Museum mit Shop. Die Inhaber sind mit viel Herzblut dabei und wenn der Senior-Chef Zeit hat bekommt man eine Privatführung inkl. der Entstehungsgeschichte der Schneekugel von Erwin I bis Erwin III. Sehr interessant und einfach schön. Und das besondere Highlight: wenn ein Rollstuhlfahrer kommt wird kurzerhand eine Rampe gebaut :) Unbedingt zu empfehlen dort bei einem Wien-Trip mal vorbei zu schauen.

Ein Recht liebes kleines Museum. Der Eintritt ist frei
