Again same as other museum, wonderful insight to the Jews and their lives and struggles. Worth a trip to delve deeper into history. Wonderful memorial outside in the square.

An important museum! Come here to see right underneath the Holocaust memorial the excavated remains of Vienna's medieval synagogue. The exhibition highlights the struggles of the Vienna's Jews through the ages from roman times. (For the struggle during WWII and since, turn to Vienna's Jewish museum's main site at Dorotheergasse 11). This place is absolutely worth a trip.

One of the three Jewish museum of Vienna mainly referring to the synagogue which was there since the 13th century. The architecture is really impressive, the main exhibition a bit poor. On the ground floor there are usually the temporary collections; now there is an homage to Helena Rubinstein. A big advantage is the ticket; you pay 12€ and you can have access to all the three Jewish museums of the city.

Sophisticated scholarship presented at a pitch perfect level for the general public. Addressing daily life, historical evidence, cultural memory, not shying away from difficult and controversial topics. One of the best Jewish Museum in the Northern hemisphere: Europe and the US.

This place is really well done. It’s small but packed a huge punch. The quality of the exhibits is incredible and they even considered how to entertain kids in a museum like this. The excavation of the 14th century synagogue and the augmented reality technology was unbelievable. However, I couldn’t access the audio guide for the ruins because my phone had no signal in that part of the museum which is likely common among others.

Really enjoyed our visit to both the Jewish Museums. Loads of very informative displays, all nicely laid out.

A very small museum. Nothing special. Entrance €15, which is expensive to pay for three museum rooms.

Very nice powerful and emotional visit that gives you the highlights of the Jewish community in the past centuries. Archeological excavations that were done on the 1990s reveal centuries of history coverup. No one can hide the Truth. Love your neighbour, brother, sister, other nations as you love yourself. We are all one here on earth and the difference is between those who are here to create and those who are here to destroy. You choose your path, so choose wisely.

On my first visit to Vienna, I felt that I HAD TO visit this museum and the other location on Dorotheergasse. I spent probably a combined total of 4 hours at the two locations. They are definitely worth a visit to understand the part of the history of this city (and all of Europe, for that matter) often overlooked by casual visitors. These museums recount the first arrival of Jews to the area, repeated confiscations of their properties, expulsions, executions, from the 12th century to the modern era. You will get the sense that the oppression and injustice were brutal and relentless.

A detailed history of the first Jewish community set up in the Mifdle Ages that had such a sudden and tragic end. The original foundations remnants of the oldest synagogue make an incredicle impression. The story of the Judenplatz is also amazing and reflects the twisted history of Jewish-Austrian relations. A totally worth visiting site!

Visit the ruins old synagogue as destroyed by the loving locals in the 14th century…. Superbly done. The tea and coffee exhibition was a bit pointless. The holocaust memorial outside ws well done too.

The Museum Judenplatz in Vienna is a must-visit for anyone interested in the history of the Jewish community in Austria. The museum offers a thought-provoking and insightful look into the lives of Jewish people in Vienna and the surrounding region, from the Middle Ages to the present day. The exhibits are well-curated and offer a wealth of information. The architecture of the building is also noteworthy, as it was built on the site of an ancient synagogue. Overall, a visit to the Museum Judenplatz is a meaningful and educational experience.

Nice museum telling the medieval history of the Jewish community in Vienna. Pity though that most of the exhibits are posters with information.

Great museum. There's an ancient synagogue ruins from the middle ages inside.

A small sister museum of the main museum that's located near the centre of Vienna. But so important to the full picture the early Jewish history in the city. The monument to the Holicost in front of the museum is one of the most moving places I have ever experienced. Take time to find out more.

A wonderful place in Vienna.

Museum Judenplatz Judenplatz is considered a unique place of remembrance: it combines Rachel Whiteread's memorial with the excavations of the medieval synagogue and a museum on medieval Judaism to form a unity of remembrance. Judenplatz was the centre of Jewish life in Vienna in the Middle Ages. Today, the Judenplatz Museum is a reminder of this. The core of the museum, which is run by the Jewish Museum of the City of Vienna, consists of showrooms on medieval Judaism in Vienna, a virtual tour of 14th century Vienna and the excavations of the medieval synagogue. The religious, cultural and social circumstances of the Viennese Jews in the Middle Ages up to their expulsion and extermination in 1420/21, the so-called "Viennese Gesera", are presented. The foundations of the synagogue destroyed at that time and selected excavation finds can be seen in the underground museum rooms. Temporary exhibitions are held on the ground floor.

Historical site of old synagogue, under the city streets

An absolute must see for those interested in Jewish history. My mother and I traveled through Austria and Poland to better understand the history of the part of the world where our family came from. This is an incredibly interesting museum and sheds light on the history of the Jewish people in Austria before WWII back to Medieval times. It's hard to imagine such things, but it is very eye opening and I think very invaluable to learning more about what life was like for Jewish people in Austria and Vienna back then. Also recommend going to Judenplatz itself to see the Holocaust memorial, can be before or after you go through the museum, but if you go before some of the information in the museum that references place markers in the plaza will make more sense.

Poignant reflection on a millenium of misguided and misinformed treatment of the Jewish people of Europe is strongly focused in this beautifully and respectfully preserved and presented example of archeological excavation. The manner in which the material is presented takes you there, painting a picture of life and trials of a much maligned people.

Fascinating as well as educative. You can actually feel what living was like for Jews in Vienna in medieval times. The excavation of the ancient synagogue is no less than stunning.

Being in Vienna we always visit this place! Its nearby the main turistic street but its very quiet and have some great places to have lunch or dinner☺️

I was happily surprised by this little museum !! It was very interesting and informative. I loved how interactive it was, not boring at all !!

A must see Museum.

Wonderful place with history in traditional life with Love

Relatively small place but very informative. The Q&A section in particular is a treat to read.

there's two Jewish museums. I think the one in Dorotheergasse is more worth it. there's not much to visit in Judenplatz, in here you can see the synagogue. The memorial is outside the museum so no need to pay for the entrance fee. their entrance ticket is also valid for 4 days

The permanent exhibition caters to visitors totally unaware of Jewish life and traditions. The kinder transport exhibition is very striking and we were literally brought 2 tears by it.

As Israeli, born in Istael, goes to jewish meuseum in any city i arrive, i find it unclear museum. The message is not clear, the meuseum do not pass Jewish pride and feeling. Dispointed place

Fairly small museum but good to combine with the other museum. Very interesting exhibition about the kinder transport while the remains of the synagogue were fascinating.

Powerful experience, just fix the tour guide on the website ;p

Very great museum. Very good information, it is making an impact to all the people that visits.

Not worth the money or time, I don't think this should be name "museum" since 95% of the exhibit are Informative panels with facts and questions/answers that you can look up in any book or informative website. There "museum" hosts a room with photos, a video and few documents from the time that children were sent to other countries during the war, this area I found interesting. A key also in display that was found in the area, believed to belong to the old synagogue located in the museum area. There is also a construction remains of the original synagogue.

Really emotive, especially loved the memorial outside the museum

Too much to read and few artefacts

Amazing collection of religious artifacts - some saved from destruction of WWII bombings and anti-semitism. Great display of spiritual identity.

The history incites thinking about the relationship between Jews and Viennese. The atmosphere is both phantastic, and after some reflection also a bit depressing.
