Museum Arbeitswelt Steyr

The Museum Arbeitswelt occupies two renovated factory buildings from the mid-19th century along the Steyr River, presenting exhibitions about industrial society and labor relations.

Established in 1987 during the Upper Austrian State Exhibition, the museum suffered extensive damage from flooding in 2002 but was subsequently rebuilt and renovated.

The museum presents exhibitions about contemporary social issues, including migration, gender roles, and technological advancement through educational workshops and interactive displays.

Located at Wehrgrabengasse 7 in Steyr, the museum features barrier-free access with tactile systems and sign language videos for enhanced accessibility.

The Memory Tunnel exhibition, housed in a former air raid shelter beneath Lamberg Castle, documents the period from 1938 to 1945 in Steyr.
