Jewish Museum

This small museum in the first district honors and studies Jewish people and their culture in Austria and particularly in Vienna, placing a specific emphasis on the history surrounding WWII. The institution is set in a beautiful former palace across the street from the Dorotheum and holds a good café and bookstore in addition to its three floors of exhibitions and event spaces. Don’t miss the top floor, where thousands of priceless items in storage are on view through their moveable glass cases.
