Lonely Planet review

Adding to the Viennese obsession with death is the Wiener Kriminalmuseum (Vienna Crime Museum). It takes a prurient, tabloid-style look at crimes and criminals in Austria and dwells on murders in the last 100 years or so with particularly grisly relish though there are skulls of earlier criminals, and even an 18th-century head pickled in a jar. Displays include death masks of convicted murderers and the weapons they supposedly used.
