Third Man Museum

The world's only museum dedicated to the 1949 film "The Third Man" — 16 rooms of original props, posters, and costumes near Vienna's Naschmarkt.

The Third Man Museum in Vienna's 4th district is the world's only museum dedicated exclusively to the 1949 film "The Third Man" — one of the most influential black-and-white films in cinema history. Directed by Carol Reed, written by Graham Greene, and starring Orson Welles as Harry Lime in bombed-out postwar Vienna. Spread across more than 400 square meters and 16 rooms, the museum displays original props, costumes, international posters, scripts, and press materials. The collection of international film posters is especially comprehensive, revealing how the film was marketed and received across different cultures. The museum is privately run and opens on weekends. Located near the Naschmarkt, it draws film enthusiasts keen to explore Vienna's double shadow — as a film location and as a place of actual postwar history.
