The Jewish Museum
JEWISH MUSEUM VIENNA
At the Jewish Museum of Vienna, visitors gain unique insights into Jewish Vienna. The focus is on socio-political influences and historical contributions of Viennese Jews to the development of the city. But the museum also provides insights into religious and cultural aspects of Judaism in society. And it does so in both the past and the present.
With two locations in Vienna's city center and as the first Jewish museum in the world, the Jewish Museum Vienna represents an important authority in the city's art and cultural heritage. In this respect, visitors can view top-class exhibitions of the Jewish Museum both at Judenplatz, in the context of excavations of a medieval synagogue, and at Palais Eskeles in Dorotheergasse.
Here you can experience Viennese Jewish history as never before! Because the guided tours, which are offered in several languages, let you enter a world of contrasting lived history. You can also trace this through individual outstanding personalities.
Accordingly, there are different mediation formats, which are based on the interests of the visitors. Whether you want to take part in the Sunday guided tour "Our City! Jewish Vienna until today" or "Museum for people in a hurry - museum highlights in 30 minutes"? Or should it be the 2-hour guided tour "Museum exclusiv"? That depends on your personal time frame. In the guided tour "Our City - by Sun, Moon and Stars" you will get unique cosmic insights into the Jewish calendar and the meaning of the new moon.
Cafe Eskeles
No matter which tour you finally decide on. At the end, a short break at the Eskeles Museum Cafe will definitely pay off. Here you can taste the famous Eskeles cake and refresh yourself with an Israeli "Limonana".
In addition, the kitchen offers a wide selection of Mediterranean, Israeli and Jewish dishes.
