Österreichisches Jüdisches Museum

The Austrian Jewish Museum occupies the historic Wertheimerhaus building, featuring exhibitions about Jewish life, religion, and traditions across multiple gallery spaces.

Established in 1972 by Kurt Schubert, this institution became the first Jewish museum to open in Austria following World War II.

The museum collection contains religious artifacts, photographs, and documents that tell the story of Jewish communities in Austria through centuries.

Located on Unterbergstrasse 6, the museum provides guided tours in multiple languages and maintains educational programs for schools and groups.

The building contains an original private synagogue from 1719 with a separate women's section, commissioned by Samson Wertheimer during his time as Chief Rabbi.
