Vision

The Wien Museum is an open house, committed to a pluralistic, cosmopolitan, and progressive society. The aim is to be a cultural resource and inspiring place for everyone living in Vienna as well as for the city’s visitors.

The museum’s collection comprises well over a million objects, from the most mundane everyday objects to rare, precious, high-quality art and items. Spanning the entire history of Vienna, it is among the most comprehensive holdings of any city museum. The institution is committed to expanding, preserving, and researching this extraordinary collection.

Education forms another pillar of the Wien Museum’s focus. The institution strives to ensure maximum accessibility across all its platforms: exhibitions, events, publications, and digital offerings. It also aims to play an active role in Vienna’s public sphere, inviting individuals and communities to help represent the city in all its diversity.
