Jeder kennt dieses Spiel gegen Langeweile, das wir mit euch im Museum spielen wollen. Dabei ist von Langeweile keine Spur, denn ihr wählt die Objekte aus, gemeinsam wird geraten und wir erzählen euch die spannenden Geschichten über Großes, Kleines, Neues, Altes – von berühmten und nicht ganz so berühmten Leuten, da ist alles dabei, wenn man genau hinschaut. Nach dem Spiel designen wir im Atelier wirklich coole Brillen – für den genauen Blick auf Details!More
A Hebrew course for young beginners! First an expedition through the three floors of the permanent exhibition is undertaken and together we search for ALL of the Hebrew letters—on the walls, in the showcases, on the objects, in the elevator and even outside of the museum. This educational program thus links fascinating information about Jewish history and culture to the 22 Hebrew letters. We learn a few, very simple sentences that can always come in handy and write our names—naturally with Hebrew letters!More
Our exciting children’s tour tells you about Jewish women and men who dreamed of revolution and change. We travel back and forth between Moscow and Vienna and ponder: What would make our world a better place? We will write or drew this straight away in the Atelier. Even if the world does not become better—at least we have utopian art here with us!More

Vitaly Komar was born in Moscow (USSR). He graduated from The Stroganov Art Academy in 1967. He was one of the founders of Sots-Art: Russian art movement of conceptual pop-artists, based on Soviet visual propaganda and Socialist Realist art.

The famous Jewish painter Isidor Kaufmann designed the Shabbat Room in 1899 for the first Jewish Museum in Vienna, a room for celebration, among other things, of the Jewish day of rest. The Israeli artist Maya Zack has created a fantastic installation, allowing us to enter this room and even visit the artist in his studio. We will create our own Shabbat Room to see how Isidor Kaufmann might have celebrated Shabbat and consider what there is to do even when you are not allowed to work.More
The Jewish Autonomous Region of Birobidzhan, established in 1934 by the Soviet government on Russia’s outermost border with China, was an official autonomous entity long before the founding of the State of Israel. Today it is too often dismissed as a “Jewish state without Jews.”More
