Story · Weltmuseum

  • en
  • nl

You're standing at the Weltmuseum Wien, the World Museum, and the largest anthropological museum in Austria. It doesn't have a building of its own. It lives in a wing of the Hofburg, Vienna's huge imperial palace. Take a look around. This was home to the Habsburgs, and they were the ones who spent centuries collecting objects from faraway lands.
