Circus & Clownmuseum — Attraction in Vienna

Happy Sunday, Vienna!!

Welcome to the clown museum. Outside there appears to be no entrance - however, you must use your intuition and knowledge to find a button next to a couple of pamphlets. Once you press the button, a magical man appears to usher you in.

The inside is warm on a cold day and they allow dogs inside!! (So don’t go if you don’t like dogs. Actually don’t go anywhere if you don’t like dogs just stay home)

I liked this place a lot, there are many many old relics, costumes, posters and miniatures from Viennas circus scene. However, most of the items don’t have any explanation as to what they are, which may leave some people confused. Despite this, the owner is very happy to answer questions.

I give 4/5 because there’s no explanation for the items but it is still very good and fun for all ages....

I know quite a lot of people being uneasy about clowns, but this museum might even to them be a very friendly, comfortable place. It feels nicely old-fashioned, as it should be, focussing on the history of circus, clowning, artistics, magicians and side shows in Austria, Vienna, the Prater and the world. Good to combine with a visit to the Prater museum (or the Prater itself, for that matter) nearby. There are about five different rooms dedicated to the various subjects, and also a stage for performances. Staff can tell many additional stories, may well be worth asking them about things! Venue can also be booked for...

We got invited to see the museum in one of our shows dark day, and we love it. Lots and lots of history with amazing collection of objects, documents, photos and costumes from most important and representative Circus performers in the world. I'm glad I could see, and touching that (even tried ride the mini bicycle). Thank you very much guys for such indescribable hospitality and Circus history class.
