About the museum
The Osmanenmuseum (Ottoman Museum) opened in 1973 and occupies three rooms in the courtyard wing of the historic town hall at Marktplatz 10. It gives an overview of the Turkish incursions of 1529 and 1683 and at the same time shows the cultural relations between Austria and the Ottoman Empire in the 16th and 17th centuries.
One aim of the exhibition is to point out that the sieges did not determine the fate of the capital Vienna alone, but above all threatened the surrounding countryside and the open land to the east. Numerous originals are shown, including a wall painting from around 1700, many medals struck to mark the sieges of Vienna in 1529 and 1683, and a series of gouaches from 1628/29 that was created in connection with the Grand Embassy of Baron Hans Ludwig von Kuefstein. Models, Turkish weapons and detailed figurines of Austrian and Ottoman troops complement the display.
