Jewish Museum of the City of Vienna

Beautifully interesting museum! A lot of information about vienna’s jew culture since ww2 with modern exhibitions from our time also. It’s a small museum but with the ticket you can also visit the holocaust museum in Judenplatz.

MUST-SEE IN VIENNA
Everyone needs to go to a Jewish Museum in their lifetime. They are incredibly educational for anyone interested in learning about history and how it applies to the current day. In this particular museum, you explore the relationship between Vienna and Judaism. There is a long and interesting history that binds these two together. It is affordable to go in and worth every moment of time spent inside.
The gift shop is lack-luster, but I didn’t go looking for souvenirs.

We arrived around noon the exhibits and the history of the jewish community in Vienna was very interesting some facts real eye openers.

Really interesting museum about the history of Jews in Vienna and Austria. It covers in depth the early medieval history as well as after the Holocaust. It is touching how open they are about Austria’s own complicity. They have great materials about 19th century Jewry in Austria too.

I like to read about the WW2 and Auschwitz and this was a fascinating place to visit. There are items and information before the Holocaust and after, how the jewish community was seen then and how it is seen nowadays.

It's a must see museum. Nothing prepared us for the enormous quantity of Judaica Objects. Most of them were taken from Jewish synagogues all over Austria during the Holocaust. Here on display were the items that weren't melted. I liked the Antique Menorah, the giant Mezuzah and the Hebrew clock. It's a museum you must visit.

Incredibly well curated, carefully archived and researched. The exhibitions about the past, culture and all the aspects are presented in a way that everyone, history buffs, nonexperts, young and old alike, may find something fascinating, illuminating and memorable at the museum.

The museum is lovely and full of rare historic artifacts that will enthrall you. But besides the Jewish shop filled with beautiful cook books and hilarious hipster imitations of geniuses and influencers like Albert Einstein, one must visit the cafe Eskeles that is inside. This cafe serves delicious and wholesome vegetarian food based on the Jewish Cuisine that we all love. There is one or two fish dishes available. The cafe serves traditional food with there modern twist and anything I've tried on there menu has been delicious. I highly recommend there sweet potato burger and challenge you to eat it with your hands if you can. There staff is so friendly and there owners are completely hands on.

Although I've expected the more about Shoah, I must say that I' ve learned a lot about Jewish community in Vienna over the centuries. Museum has two locations at the city center, both worth visiting. Interactive displays are really worth your time.

Such a needed museum for all generations. Be sure to give yourself enough time to travel across town to the 2nd museum which is covered on your ticket purchase. Came away with an even deeper appreciation for the Jewish community (brothers and sisters in faith and oppression) from generation to generation. The rich yet painful lessons provided here need to be shared- now to prevent history from repeating itself.

The museum has two departaments. A very nice place for everyone who is interested in Jewish culture and history.

The Jewish Museum of the City of Vienna is an amazing museum.
Whenever I travel, I enjoy visiting the local Jewish Museums. What I really liked at this museum is the fact that there are lots of info about the Second World War in Vienna, Freud and about the Interwar period in Vienna. This museum has lots of interesting objects, but also lots of info about the life and legacy of the Jewish Community in the city of Vienna. Totally recommend this museum, as it is a must for people who want to discover more about their heritage or simply enjoy discovering and better understanding the Jewish Community of Vienna.
S.P.

We only stopped at the cafe for lunch. They are a meat free restaurant with several vegan options. Their daily menu is really good value.

Very interesting and suitable amount of information, not too much. Two places at one price.

A visually beautiful museum housing much important information.

Very informative museum. Its terrible to think what these people went through. You get entrance to two museums.

They were installing a new exhibit, so a few rooms were closed, but the permanent collection is beautifully displayed with plenty of information and explanation of artifacts in several languages.
There was also a beautiful photography exhibit.

Incredible museum of the more modern Jewish Viennese history. Not a huge museum, but the ticket also gets you into the Judenplatz Museum of medieval Jewish history in Vienna. Strongly recommend going the both in the same day.

Amazing amount of information and relics regarding Jewish history through the war. Well worth a trip. Also the ticket allows entry to both museums which are roughly 10 minutes walk from each other.

I didn't understand all the main stuff cause didn't have an audioguide but they have delicious meal at the cafe))))
