To name just a few: the famous Ettrich Dove, which is still able to fly; steam engines, the bordeaux-red Lohner Porsche, the functioning exhibition mine in the basement...

These flashes of inspiration of the past have been augmented by technical achievements of the present, such as a computer tomograph or a television directing console. And there are plenty of hands-on experiments that appeal to adults as well as to children.

Technical innovations can also seen outside the museum: this mansion from the year 1913, which was built to complement nearby Schönbrunn Palace, features a new entrance hall on the basement level.

The familiar appearance of sumptuous neo-Baroque and Art Nouveau now contrasts with sober additions of glass and aluminum.
