The Jewish Museum Vienna, located in Palais Eskeles, offers a comprehensive insight into Jewish life and history in Vienna. Its permanent exhibition, "Our City!", spans from 1945 to the present day on the ground floor and covers Jewish history from its beginnings up to 1938/1945 on the second floor. The museum also features a Display Depot showcasing various collections and their collectors, and the "Studio" serves as a workshop and exhibition space for ritual everyday objects.

The museum is also connected to the Museum Judenplatz, which includes a Holocaust memorial, and a single ticket grants admission to both locations. The Jewish Museum, founded in 1895, is set to celebrate its 130th anniversary in 2025 with a special program.
