Neidhart Festsaal

Small interesting museum. Most interesting is that it is located in a residential building and not obvious to find haha. Explanations in both German and English. Ok on a free entrance day but crowded as there was also a guide with a small group present. Otherwise, I wouldn't pay to go see it.

Delightful and interesting small museum that displays actual frescos from the 1400s on the interior walls of an apt that were discovered during a renovation in 1979. If you are interested in Renaissance socially, this is an excellent small venue exhibition with lots of supporting history materials and literature.

It's a small museum (only one room) that introduces a piece of medieval life. There are many wooden cards that each or them explain a normal life of medieval age. The museum is also popular for its secular old paintings. The door of the building was closed and we rang the museum bell to enter. Then we went up with the elevator. Access to this museum with a wheelchair is a little hard.

Loved this place, part of the Wien Museum. As such, on the first Sunday of each month the entrance is free of charge. The museum is a ballroom with wall paintings (the oldest surviving from a private home in Vienna): basically, a small rectangular room, with explanations and captions both in English and German, some vitrines in the middle with pieces of objects, but also a touch screen to read more about the place, the owner/merchant and scenes depicted. You can open some drawers and see more objects, so there's that element of interaction. From the outside, with the big door of the building shut, you would think it's closed and you may have to ring to be let in. Then again you have to find your way, since it is on the first floor and the door to enter the room will be closed too. I think partly because of all this, even if the building is super central!, it was quiet and peaceful on Sunday morning: in fact, for the good part we were alone with the one member of staff sitting at the desk at the end of the room. There are a very few nails on the wall just by the entrance where you may leave your coat (and the bag on the floor, if you wish), but you may as well keep all on you since the visit will not be long.

An incredible discovery; must see. Staggering that this has survived. The entrance is not obvious from the street, since it is inside house no. 19. Look for a small sign next to the closed door and ring the bell to gain entrance. Very friendly staff. Vielen Dank für so einen schönen Besuch - es war das absolute Highlight von meinem Aufenthalt in Wien!
