What happens when there's no time to think, but everything is at stake? Based on emergency procedures developed by the International Council of Museums (ICOM), the Jewish Museum Vienna invites visitors to engage with its anniversary exhibition "G*d. Reflections Between Heaven and Earth" in a completely new way.
No calm browsing, no reading wall texts—this tour simulates an emergency. You have just eight minutes to choose one object in the exhibition that you would save first. What is most valuable? Most meaningful? Most irreplaceable? Your decision is marked with a specially designed card.
Once the 'emergency' is over, museum educator Hannah Landsmann shares the background, material, and history of each rescued object—whether it's a rare textile, a medieval parchment, a precious piece of silver, or even a seemingly blank sheet of paper.



A guided tour on the occasion of the European Day of Jewish Culture.

Participation with guided tour ticket € 3,- and valid admission ticket.
