Bezirksmuseum

Wiener Bezirks- und Sondermuseen bring the history and character of Vienna’s neighborhoods to life through a network of museums across the city’s 23 districts and a range of specialized museums. Their collections and exhibitions invite visitors to explore local stories, notable places, and subjects connected with Vienna’s heritage. The network includes museums dedicated to topics such as chimney sweeping, bricks and building ceramics, gold and silversmithing, phonographs, and the 1809 Battle of Aspern.

Visitors can discover permanent collections, temporary exhibitions, and a varied program of events, including talks, concerts, family activities, and guided tours. The museums also provide practical information about locations and opening hours, as well as audio guides and publications to support a deeper visit. People interested in local history can find information about collections and ways to get involved, while a newsletter shares news and upcoming activities. With free admission to all district museums, Wiener Bezirks- und Sondermuseen offers residents and visitors an accessible way to learn about the city, connect with their neighborhood, and take part in its cultural life.
