Wien Museum

Vienna


The Wien Museum covers Vienna's history from Neolithic times to the 20th century, putting the city and its personalities in a meaningful context. It's closed completely for extensive renovations until 2022. In the meantime, some of the collections will be on display in thematic exhibitions at the Wien Museum MUSA, while others will tour internationally.
