The Prater might well be the beating heart of Vienna. For over 250 years, it has provided amusement, rest, and relaxation. The Prater Museum, located right next to the famed “Riesenrad,” recalls this colorful history, from its beginnings to the present. A monumental panorama greets visitors at the museum’s entrance.
From there, they are invited onto the upper floors where fascinating historical objects – from Merry-go-rounds to Punch and Judy figures – tell the Prater’s story alongside plans, models, photos, tickets, programs, and posters. The Prater Museum also functions as a meeting spot. The foyer, which also serves as an event location, can be visited for free.
The new Prater Museum will be opened on March 15, 2024.
