The reconstruction of a classic film.
If you’re a fan of classic noir film, you’ll have heard of ‘The Third Man.’ Set against the gritty backdrop of post-war Vienna, it is now considered as one of the greatest films of all time. Today, you can go beyond the linear plot of the movie and explore its premise in even greater depth with the Third Man Museum. Not only does this museum take you on a fascinating journey into the backend of the film, it opens a door to more insights about post-war Vienna.
You’ll discover a city split among Allied forces and rife with suspicion and cynicism, a far cry from the beautiful settlement it is today. You’ll also find here a brilliant collection of memorabilia from the film, such as the cap of ‘Little Hansel’, signed photographs of the stars, antique film posters, and even the original zither on which Antan Karas played the film’s haunting theme, and which propelled him to international fame. Although it’s a private museum, it has amassed over 2,500 original exhibits and continues to enjoy resounding popularity. It’s the perfect opportunity for you to discover another side to the city of Vienna.
