Jewish Museum Vienna

Also known as Juedisches Museum Wien

The Jewish Museum Vienna operates from two sites whose contrast tells much of the story. The main Dorotheergasse location covers 2,000 years of Jewish life in Vienna and documents a cultural presence that was central to the city's intellectual, commercial, and artistic identity before 1938.

The Jewish Museum Vienna operates across two sites. The main Dorotheergasse location (Palais Eskeles) covers 2,000 years of Jewish life in Vienna, documenting the community that constituted 10% of the city’s population before the Holocaust. The Judenplatz site descends below street level to excavated medieval synagogue foundations from 1421, with Rachel Whiteread’s Holocaust memorial above: a concrete library turned inside out honoring 65,000 Austrian Jews murdered in the Holocaust. Combined ticket approximately EUR 12; both sites open daily from 10:00. Check jmw.at for current information.
