THE MUSEUM
The THIRD MAN MUSEUM is THE place to go for film fans and all those interested in the post-war history of Vienna. The Third Man”, a British-American production filmed in post-war Vienna, opened in London in 1949 and became a huge box-office success all over the (Western) world. It made the simple musician Anton Karas a world star. Private museum without sponsors and without subsidies, but a 100% passion ! The THIRD MAN MUSEUM is the project of two enthusiasts: Gerhard Strassgschwandtner and Karin Höfler.
Our 3rd Man Partners:
COLLECTION ON „THE THIRD MAN“
Our collection shows items from premieres as well as from numerous rereleases from more than 20 different countries: Great Britain, the United States, Argentina, Australia, Austria, Denmark, France, Germany, Japan, Sweden, Spain, Mexico, New Zealand... In 15 rooms 3000 original exhibits and documents are on display: 420 cover versions of the "Harry Lime Theme", the zither used by Anton Karas to record the film music, original scripts, cameras used on location in Vienna, a short screening with a projector from the time, the cap of Little Hansel and much more...COLLECTION ON POSTWAR VIENNA
British producer Alexander Korda wanted to create a movie about post-war Europe. He chose Vienna, which was divided into four occupied zones by the U.S.A., Great Britain, France and the U.S.S.R. All four powers worked together in the Inner City. Graham Greene's sensitive research and Carol Reed's documentary style make "The Third Man" a unique testimony of post-war Vienna. In our museum a wide range of original documents illustrate the daily life of those days between bombed out buildings, hunger, black market and demarcation lines. Movie quotes from "The Third Man" give information on the time and an unusual approach to history.THIRD MAN MUSEUM
