WELLESNET MESSAGE BOARD

Here's an interview with the founder (and, with his wife, operator) of the museum: http://austrianinformation.org/current- ... useum.html

Visited this recently and it's really wonderful! Truly recommend that you guys go if you have the chance. There's so much promotional material (really beautiful vintage posters/lobby cards/adverts/etc). Nice behind the scenes photos too... including some of Orson. Amazingly, they've also acquired the original costumes of Major Calloway and Seargeant Paine; they're displayed along with information on post-war Vienna. The highlight though is seeing scenes from The Third Man projected not only via film (thank god! digital cannot compare sometimes) but from a vintage 1930s era Viennese projector. Really brings out the blacks and whites of the image...

Admission is cheap and also the owner is really nice. He hangs around there and is quite open for chatting about the film and the collection.

Third Man Museum appeals for financial help during pandemic:

Perhaps Harry Lime could return and sell Donald's magic remedy to his supporters to raise money?

From Wellesnet Facebook (Linda Cantoni):

"We visited it last June - what a labor of love! It would be dreadful to lose it."

Just got this:
