    The Archbishop's Cathedral and Diocesan Museum was founded on the initiative of Cardinal Theodor Innitzer and opened on 3 June 1933 in rooms of the Archbishop's Palace. In 1973, the museum moved to the Zwettlerhof (Stephansplatz 6), and from the mid-1980s onwards, further premises were adapted for museum operations. From 2010 to 2015 it was called "Dommuseum", and since 1 August 2015 the official name has been "Dom Museum Wien". In May 2012, the museum was closed for reconstruction and conceptual realignment. Since March 2013, the Viennese art historian Johanna Schwanberg has been the director of the Dom Museum Wien. In 2020, the museum was awarded the Austrian Museum Prize.

    A. MUST. SEE for anyone who has an hour to spare at the most interesting, clean, air-conditioned, and faithful museum of modern art juxtaposed with religious relics and expressions (some of which are from the year 400)! What a beautiful treat. Get the audio guide for a beautiful enhanced visit.

    A great mix of medieval and contemporary art. They have a wonderful audioguide available in multiple languages if you download their ap on your phone. You can connect to the museum's wifi to do so. Took 2 hours to do the entire audio guide.

  • 5/5 Michael H. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Very good exhibitions on both sacred and modern art (due to the grandiose and important Otto Mauer collection). Especially the interaction or comparison of the two divisions makes it worth seeing. To be recommended at any time (Original) Sehr gute Ausstellungen zu sakraler wie auch moderner Kunst (bedingt durch die grandiose und wichtige Sammlung Otto Mauer). Besonders das Zusammenspiel bzw GegenĂĽberstellung der beiden Sparten macht es sehenswert. Jederzeit zu empfehlen

  • 5/5 Sylvia P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Located in the heart of Vienna, next to St. Stephen's Cathedral, the small but fine DomMuseum houses true art treasures from the Middle Ages to the Baroque to a controversial special exhibition: "Family Matters" illuminates the topic of family from a variety of perspectives. From the transformation of the concept of family, the relationships within a family, the various forms of representation, how was and is family portrayed in art. Exciting, breaking taboos, timely, thought-provoking. Until 30th August 2020. Attention: Closed on Mondays and Tuesdays. (Original) Im Herzen Wiens gelegen, direkt neben dem Stephansdom, beherbergt das kleine aber feine DomMuseum wahre Kunstschätze vom Mittelalter über Barock bis zu einer kontroversiellen Sonderausstellung: “Family Matters” beleuchtet das Thema Familie aus den unterschiedlichsten Gesichtspunkten. Vom Wandel des Begriffs Familie, den Beziehungen innerhalb einer Familie, den diversen Darstellungsarten, wie wurde und wird Familie in der Kunst dargestellt. Spannend, Tabus brechend, zeitgemäß, zum Nachdenken anregend. Noch bis 30. August 2020. Achtung: Montag und Dienstag geschlossen.

  • 2/5 Floh vulgo P. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Small collection, partly with a modernist interpretation and description that does not owe anything to the zeitgeist. Not exactly a reputation for the Archdiocese of Vienna. An incoherent and jumbled together string of art objects of different provenance. Knowing about the ecclesiastical and historical art treasures of the archdiocese, I have to say that the museum does not really do justice to its historical task. (Original) Klein Sammlung, teils mit modernistigscher Interpretation und Beschreibung, die dem Zeitgeist nichts schuldig bleibt. Für die Erzdiözese Wien nicht unbedingt ein Renommee. Eine unzusammenhängend und zusammengewürfelte Aneinanderreihung von Kunstobjekten verschiedenster Provenienz. Wissend über die kirchlichen und historischen Kunstschätze der Erzdiözese muß ich sagen, daß das Museum seiner geschichtlich gewachsenen Aufgabe nicht wirklich gerecht wird.

    4 stars for the museum. It's interesting but small. The art exhibition comparing modern day social justice images with medieval images really made me think - and I'm not one normally for art. Why 5 stars? The lady at the ticket office was so friendly and delighted I used my rather basic German. Also, the availability of English translations available.

  • 5/5 Bob B. 1 year ago on Google • 4 reviews
    Nicely and thoughtfully curated. The guide was wonderful. Contemporary exhibits explores universal themes that thread through both religious and secular society alike. A very good mix of pieces as well ranging in emotional tone. Brings life to the universality of religious artifacts and reveals a relatable, universal human experience.

  • 4/5 Joseppe O. 4 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) It contains numerous ecclesiastical works accompanied by modern art. The juxtaposition of the two arts confuses but the visit is still worthwhile. (Original) Contiene numerose opere ecclesiastiche accompagnate da arte moderna. L'accostamento tra le due arti confonde ma la visita merita comunque.

    Came today, 06.09.2019, at around 10:20 -10:30 a.m., there was a guy at the doors blocking the entrance who said, “it’s not working today, come next week” (it’s Wednesday). The lights inside were on.

  • 3/5 Paulo Henrique Coelho C. 6 years ago on Google
    No ift available (out of service) , a stairway to heaven for old people... But it has a resting room (important), even if it’s downstairs. A lot of “modern” art, but poor in old works.

  • 3/5 Alexander R. 4 years ago on Google
    This museum was relatively small and did not have a lot of exhibits, The exhibits they have were nice but definitely not worth the admission price. I would not go here again unless I was holding a city pass or other discounted admissions pass

  • 5/5 mag e. 3 years ago on Google
    (Translated by Google) Small but fine museum of the Catholic Church with interesting artefacts from the religious life of the past, such as medieval monstrances, altarpieces, statues of the Virgin ... There is also a modern exhibition with socio-political interpretations of the present based on contemporary works such as Arnulf Rainer , Kiki Kogeknik etc ... Today there was free entry with a special code ... Highly recommended! 🤗 (Original) Kleines,aber feines Museum der katholischen Kirche mit interessanten Artefakten aus dem religiösen Leben der Vergangenheit, wie z.B.mittelalterlichen Monstranzen,Altarbildern,Marienstatuen ...Dazu gibt es dzt auch noch eine moderne Ausstellung mit gesellschaftspolitischen Interpretationen der Gegenwart anhand zeitgenössischer Werke wie z.B.Arnulf Rainer,Kiki Kogeknik etc...Heute gab s mit einem speziellen Code Gratiseintritt...Sehr empfehlenswert!🤗

    (Translated by Google) A cathedral museum offers an exhibition of sacred objects and information on the neighboring St. Stephen's Cathedral. This place goes far beyond that and also presents the history and parts of the collection of Otto Mauer, founder of the Galerie next St.Stephan, as well as current special exhibitions. Winner of the 2020 Museum Prize with good reason. (Original) Ein Dommuseum lässt eine Ausstellung sakraler Gegenstände und Informationen zum benachbarten Stephansdom erwarten. Dieser Ort geht weit darüber hinaus und präsentiert auch Geschichte und Teile der Sammlung von Otto Mauer, Gründer der Galerie nächst St.Stephan, sowie aktuelle Sonderausstellungen. Mit gutem Grund Träger des Museumspreises 2020.

    (Translated by Google) Under the direction of Abd Masoud we can take part in fantastic exhibitions. His imagination is endless, be it calligraphy or the work of a contemporary young painter. Visiting the exhibitions in very beautiful surroundings is a wonderful experience. Thank you for that and congratulations. :-) (Original) Unter der Leitung von Abd Masoud können wir an fantastischen Ausstellungen teilnehmen. Seine Vorstellungskraft ist endlos, sei es Kalligraphie oder das Werk eines zeitgenössischen jungen Malers. Der Besuch der Ausstellungen in einer sehr schönen Umgebung ist eine wunderbare Erlebnis. Vielen Dank dafür und herzlichen Glückwunsch. :-)

    (Translated by Google) I expected more from the diocesan museum. I actually didn't like it at all. The old art was very sparse. The modern art uninteresting after 30 min we were done. Not a word about Stefan's Cathedral in the museum (Original) Vom diözesan Museum hatte ich mir wir mehr erwartet. Hat mir eigentlich überhaupt nicht gefallen. Die alte Kunst war sehr spärlich.

    (Translated by Google) Amazingly enough. Deeply Catholic pedagogy is expected. You will be disappointed. A really architecturally brilliant room with which intelligent curators know what to do. A really rare stroke of luck. The special exhibition 'family matters' aroused my worst fear of conversion. Instead, and that should remain the motto of this wonderful museum, instead: well-sighted and considered image and room design. Admittedly, something for lovers. But where do you see Klimt, Kubin and Beuys so close together? Wow! (Original) Erstaunlich genug. Man erwartet zutiefst katholische Pädagogik. Man wird enttäuscht. Ein wirklich schon architektonisch glänzender Raum, mit dem intelligente Kuratoren etwas anzufangen wissen. Ein wirklich seltener Glücksfall. Die Sonderausstellung 'family matters' weckte bei mir schlimmste Bekehrungsbefürchtungen. Stattdessen, und das sollte das Motto dieses wundervollen Museums bleiben, stattdessen: wohlgesichtete und -überlegte Bild- und Raumgestaltung. Zugegeben, etwas für Liebhaber. Aber wo sieht man schon mal Klimt, Kubin und Beuys so nah beisammen? Wow!
