A museum you not only see, but also hear, feel, and smell. A place where history and nature come alive – regardless of sight. Listen to original recordings of eyewitnesses, feel the texture of an animal's fur or a snake's skin, and discover surprising scents. The Museum Niederösterreich invites blind and visually impaired people to specially designed tours, where, together with a trained team of guides, they can explore the House of Nature or the current special exhibition "Children of War" in the House of History.
The House of Nature combines the best of a museum and a zoo. The exhibition is arranged according to habitats and offers fascinating insights into the flora and fauna of Lower Austria. During the guided tour, the sense of hearing takes center stage: visitors listen to the sounds of the wild. In addition, the senses of touch and smell are deliberately incorporated to make the different habitats tangible.
The exhibition "Children of War – Growing Up Between 1938 and 1955" focuses on childhood and adolescence before, during, and after the Second World War. It centers on eyewitnesses from diverse backgrounds and their memories. Their personal accounts and original photographs convey the realities of life during this period in a compelling and relatable way.
