The Jewish Museum Vienna offers visitors a fascinating insight into Jewish life in Vienna. Its exhibitions explore the social, political and historical contributions of Vienna’s Jewish community as well as religious and cultural aspects of Judaism, both past and present.
With two locations in Vienna’s city centre, the museum is an important part of the city’s cultural heritage. Visitors can explore exhibitions at the Palais Eskeles on Dorotheergasse as well as at Judenplatz, where archaeological remains of a medieval synagogue form part of the museum experience.
Guided tours are available in several languages and provide deeper insights into Jewish history in Vienna through important events, places and personalities.
The museum offers a range of different educational and guided-tour formats designed for visitors with different interests and amounts of time available.
Café Eskeles
After visiting the exhibitions, guests can take a break at Café Eskeles, located at the museum’s Dorotheergasse site.
The café offers a selection of refreshments and dishes inspired by Mediterranean, Israeli and Jewish cuisine.
