Entry Tickets to Jewish Museum Vienna at Jewish Museum Vienna

Your Visit to the Jewish Museum Vienna

Experience Vienna's Jewish Heritage

The Jewish Museum Vienna provides visitors with a unique opportunity to engage with centuries of Jewish history. Its two main sites, Museum Judenplatz and Museum Dorotheergasse, offer insight into the cultural, social and religious life of Vienna’s Jewish community from the Middle Ages to the modern era.

Explore Two Historic Locations

Museum Judenplatz stands on a historically significant site, where remnants of a medieval synagogue are preserved. The exhibitions here chronicle the origins and development of Vienna's first Jewish community and their contributions to the city. Museum Dorotheergasse focuses on broader themes, presenting artefacts, documents and multimedia displays that convey daily life, music, tradition and challenges faced by Vienna’s Jewish citizens.

Permanent and Temporary Exhibitions

The museum’s permanent exhibitions guide you through centuries of Jewish life, presenting artwork, religious artefacts and documents that reveal personal stories. Temporary exhibitions highlight current global, political and social themes, linking Vienna’s Jewish heritage to contemporary issues. Guests are encouraged to reflect on historical change and the ongoing influence of Jewish culture in Vienna today.

The ‘Ot’ Project

One of the museum’s most striking installations is the glowing ‘Ot’ project—a dynamic, five-meter-high metal sculpture inspired by the Star of David. Created by artist Lukas Maria Kaufmann, it commemorates the synagogues destroyed in Vienna during 1938, serving as a powerful symbol of resilience and remembrance. ‘Ot’ means 'symbol' or 'sign' in Hebrew, and the work’s shape shifts depending on your viewpoint.

Practical Information and Pass Options
