Stolen Sanctity – Judaica from Lower Austria

From 15 April to 15 November 2026, this exhibition will show seven ceremonial objects from Lower Austrian synagogues and tell their stories. These objects were either brought to Vienna in the nick of time before the November Pogroms in 1938 or were traded as stolen items and acquired by collectors or museums.

Permanent exhibition
The Synagogue and its Community

This permanent exhibition was created with the institution’s overall guiding principles in mind: history (Geschichte) – remembrance (Gedenken) – present (Gegenwart). Arranged around the women’s gallery on the first floor, it tells the story of the construction, destruction and two subsequent renovations of the synagogue, but also community life around the synagogue and the fate of the Jewish people who worshipped here.
