The Jewish Museum Vienna, a museum of Wien Holding, is celebrating 30 years in the Palais Eskeles on Dorotheergasse!
30 years ago, on November 18, 1993, the Jewish Museum Vienna opened its doors for the first time in the Palais Eskeles at Dorotheergasse 11. The museum would like to celebrate this anniversary together with its guests! On the occasion of this special milestone, the Jewish Museum Vienna cordially invites you to its open day, which will offer all visitors a varied program and exclusive insights into the history of the museum on November 18, 2023.
Unique leadership program: “Quersum 3”
During the tours at 11 a.m., 3 p.m. and 5 p.m., participants will be taken on a 30-minute journey through the permanent exhibition “Our City!” under the motto “Quarsum 3.” taken. You can discover three objects each that tell the fascinating story of Viennese Jewish culture.

Visitors can also expect a sweet surprise at Café Eskeles: when they consume a main course, they receive an “Eskeles cube” as a small thank you.
Shop window for the 30th anniversary: “30 years of Dorotheergasse”
In the newly designed 30th anniversary showcase, which is being presented as part of this special occasion, there is an exhibit from the inaugural exhibition “Teitelbaum lived here”. The idea of the exhibition emphasized that Vienna does not fundamentally have its own Jewish history, but that the city’s Jewish history is also the city’s history – a basic attitude that the Jewish Museum Vienna still stands for today. The exhibition featured objects from different eras that located the past of Vienna’s Jewish population on the city map. A specially made floor covering with city map sections served as a visual representation, and the objects not only conveyed spatial information, but also provided a compressed overview of the cultural history of the entire city. The exhibition was curated by Felicitas Heimann-Jelinek and designed by architect Martin Kohlbauer.
On the open day, visitors receive annual tickets for the Jewish Museum Vienna at a 30% discount at a price of 27.30 euros (instead of 39 euros) or 16.80 euros (instead of 24 euros / 19 – 27 years, presence/ Civil servants, people with disabilities; purchase only with ID at the cash desk). This offer is only valid directly in the museum, not for purchases in the online shop.
