We celebrate Chrismukkah!
At the Jewish Museum Vienna you can experience how to combine two festivals – Christmas and Chanukah – in a creative way! This year’s Chanukah festival starts on December 2nd. We celebrate a bit longer at the Jewish Museum Vienna, because there is something from both festivals during the Christmas holidays and you can be really creative: The many great objects and the suspenseful stories will help you along. Our children’s tour will tell you how the Christmas tree came to Vienna, what the cycling enthusiast Theodor Herzl thought of Chanukah, what the Jewish family Lieben ate at Christmas and much more. In the Atelier you will design extravagant cards, souvenirs and gifts – for Chrismukkah!

Out and About with Victoria Blitz – A Journey through Time and Space
A journey through time and space, as well as through the three floors of the permanent exhibition in the Jewish Museum at Dorotheergasse 11! Since the famous Victoria Blitz is a very fast means of transport, our tour also shakes a leg. We visit famous Viennese women and men, let them or Victoria tell us exciting stories. In the Atelier, we then design imaginative tickets for our time travel – more suspenseful than in a movie, because you can travel along!

Kurt Klagsbrunn – The Eye of the Museum
We get to know a Jewish guy from Floridsdorf who was mad about photography, studied medicine and had to flee Vienna in 1938. He captured modern life in his new homeland of Brazil with his camera and was very successful in the process. After the exciting children’s tour in the exhibition, we go on a search for photo motifs in the museum – equipped with Polaroid cameras! Who finds the coolest motifs and funniest scenes? Like Viktor Klagsbrunn, we arrange the photos on A5-sized sheets and note exactly what was photographed when and why. A nice memory of the museum visit – and a gift to family members and friends who stayed at home ...

On the Go in Our City!
Join us on Sunday afternoon for exciting time travels through Vienna. On these “expeditions” we walk through Vienna and do not even have to leave the Jewish Museum. We meet famous people, music stars, politicians, artists, collectors and photographers who, for instance, encounter an old bicycle, an elegant table for card games or even Dr. Freud as a finger puppet. We combine the cool family tour with creative painting and handicraft offers in the “Atelier.”

Celebrating Tu BiShvat
A festival for plants and fruit? In the middle of winter? Yes, at the Jewish Museum Vienna we are celebrating the "New Year of Trees" on the 15th day of Shvat (this year on January 21). Before the celebration, we offer a fascinating tour of the museum, where you can look for and discover all the plants and fruits there. In the Atelier there will be further information about the holiday and a design competition: board and chalk, paper and pens, scissors and fabric are all on hand for you to create your own Tu BiShvat artworks.
An event in connection with wienXtra.
