The Austrian National Tobacco Company (Austria Tabak), founded in 1784 to preserve a state tobacco monopoly, administers this quaint museum. On display are a wide variety of ornamental and carved pipes, smoking tins, snuff boxes, and cigarette packages, along with an exhibit of paintings. Examples of pipes include the ornate "Meerschaum" pipes, a short-stemmed pipe depicting Christopher Columbus reaching American shores, and Chinese opium pipes.
