After exploring the upper floor of the military history museum, we now go to the entrance floor to explore the two major wars of the 20th century. Learn about the events that led to the wars, the weapons used and the devastating results for Austria. Explore the lesser-known stories about the period between the wars and the Austrian civil war. Lastly, hear the stories of Austria’s navy and one of the country’s worst investments. It is recommended to combine this tour with our tour about Vienna’s warfare history in the 16th-19th centuries.

- The first world war
- The Museum’s modern weapons collection
- The interwar period (the 20’s and 30’s)
