Description
The Folklore Museum will be closed from October 2024 to June 2026 due to a general renovation of the museum building. During this time, the museum will move its activities to the Otto Wagner Areal in Vienna's 14th district. The information on accessibility and inclusive educational programs relates to the museum building before the closure and will be continued or updated after the reopening. The temporarily used Otto Wagner Areal is NOT barrier-free.
The Vienna Museum of Folklore is one of the largest international ethnographic museums with extensive collections of folk art and historical and contemporary everyday cultures in Europe. A permanent exhibition and changing special exhibitions deal with a wide range of topics related to living together in a constantly changing world. The museum uses regular events, interventions, performative art, theater projects, cooperation with NGOs, research and public science projects, online collections, online publications and social media channels for an active, critical and participatory discussion.
