Rafał Buksiński ★★★★★ – February 28, 2026

Great museum, there are lot of exhibitions to see. If you are big fan of medical history and pathologies, it's great place for you to visit while being in Vienna. It's also good that there are rules not to take photos, all in all almost everything you can see there was taken from human body or it's literally human - his skeleton or baby's. There are also multimedials that can teach you about pathomorphology. 10/10, highly recommended, also one of the cheapest museums in the Vienna.

Narrentum ("Tower of fools") - this anatomical museum is in the ex lunatic asylum. A collection of specimens and pathological findings for medical research and advancement. Tickets are valid for anytime that day, and the staff were welcoming. You wander at own pace, through various rooms, with good interpretive information throughout. No children under 14, and no photography for obvious reasons. I found this place fascinating.

Dr. Nicky Morgenroth-Mann organised a tour for the students from Manus Massage School! We where all impressed with what we have learned there! Will come there again. Gives you a deeper understanding about human body!

Unique and extraordinary. Such an exhibition is nowhere else to be found in the entire world. Scary and fascinating and scientifically incredibly valuable. The downsides are the restricted opening hours and limited guided tours.
