Lonely Planet review

This shrine to one of Vienna's greatest icons covers the last 50 years of the Staatsoper. Photos on the museum's façade show the damage the building suffered during the war, and its painstaking 10-year restoration. Inside, the museum runs through five decades of highlights such as Karajan's eight-year reign as director and the performance of Lulu . Photos and articles abound but unfortunately it's all quite static and will only impress opera fans.

A visit to this museum is best combined with a tour of the Staatsoper.
