Jewish Museum

Vienna was one of the most prominent centers of Jewish culture in Europe. However, during the period of National-Socialist rule in Austria, Vienna’s Jewish population was almost entirely wiped out in the Holocaust.

Since 1945, Jewish culture and society have gradually been recovering and returning to the thriving days of old. ​There are thee permanent exhibitions in the Jewish Museum. The newly arranged Display Depot contains collections and teaches about the collectors behind them, like Max Berger. The Studio is a workshop and exhibition space for everyday ritual objects.
