The Jewish Museum of Vienna

The Jewish Museum Vienna is a place of encounter and understanding. It is a place of encounter and understanding. It enables insights into Judaism, its holidays and customs, but also into youth culture. At its two locations, the Jewish Museum Vienna presents a unique overview of the history and the present-day life of Viennese Jews. We are looking forward to your visit!

It preserves and interprets one of the largest European collections of Judaica – the legacy of the third-largest Jewish community in Europe before the Holocaust.  By collecting, exhibiting and communicating this heritage, it bears testimony to the past and the present of the city of Vienna – both of which have been greatly influenced by many and varied forms of migration. The Jewish Museum Vienna surprises with new perspectives on Judaism, it invites people of all cultures and generations for dialogue, and encourages them to ask questions and participate in the creative process.

 At its two locations, it offers a unique overview of the history and the present of Viennese Jews.
