Description

Essentials about the Jewish Museum Vienna in brief

Vienna has always been and continues to be one of the centers of Jewish life in Europe. Against this background, the Jewish Museum Vienna documents the many facets of Jewish history, culture and religion in Vienna and in Austria. Incidentally, the museum, which was founded as early as 1895, was the first of its kind in the world.

The locations of the Jewish Museum Vienna

Today, the museum has two locations, the Palais Eskeles in Dorotheergasse and a dependency in the Misrachi House on Judenplatz. The house on Judenplatz documents the social, cultural and religious life of Viennese Jews in the Middle Ages. The museum in Dorotheergasse deals with the difficult reconstruction of Vienna’s Jewish community after its destruction by the Nazis. In addition, temporary exhibitions are also shown.
