The Holy Lance and the coronation robes are also frequently mentioned as notable exhibits. Many visitors appreciate the well-organized layout and the detailed information provided about each item, which helps to contextualize the historical significance of the objects.

    The audio guide is highly recommended by most visitors, as it provides in-depth explanations and interesting historical anecdotes. Some reviewers note that the audio guide is essential for fully appreciating the exhibits, as the written descriptions can be limited.

    While the majority of reviews are overwhelmingly positive, a few minor criticisms are mentioned. Some visitors find the museum relatively small compared to other Viennese attractions, and a few note that it can get crowded during peak times, making it difficult to fully appreciate some of the displays.

    The lighting and presentation of the artifacts receive mixed reviews. While many praise the dramatic lighting that enhances the viewing experience, others feel that some areas could benefit from better illumination to fully appreciate the details of certain objects.
