Josephinum

Beautiful and incredibly informative. I was expecting to see more conserved organs, but most of the things were done in wax. They are very respectful about the history (e.g involvement of the Nazi regime in using victim's bodies for study of anatomy).

The best escape from Vienna’s luxury castles, rich architecture and art galleries. The staff members were very welcoming and patient with explaining the directions.Great museum if you have interest in medicine.

Arguably I'm not the target demographic as a curious lay person, but the exhibition didn't grab me. There is some interesting history, and examples of instruments on display, but over 50% of the museum is dedicated to wax anatomical models that become very repetitive after you've seen the first ten. Staff were friendly and helpful, and it's set in a simple but lovely building.

Went here on Saturday with friends, pricing was very good, clean building and very grand for sure. It is my kind of thing this museum, but could easily understand how it wouldn't be for everyone. I enjoyed all of it, I just wish they had some more plaques up describing a lot of the wax figures, in order to understand on a simple level. Otherwise it quickly grows repetitive without any context. I believe there would be an audio guide to buy, but at the same time, because there is 100's of wax figures, I don't want to spend all day there going over everything. If there could be a middle ground with some plaques up, then it would be a 5/5 for me, as it stands, 4/5 is fair and a good time if it is your sort of thing; for me it was, my friends, not so much.

Very interesting museum for medical students or people interested in human anatomy and medical history in Vienna. I really liked how all the wax models have only the name of the body part so it is less reading and more observing. On the down side for people who don’t know too much about it would not understand what they are looking at. But there are explanations for the medical history exhibit.
