What to expect
The House of Austrian History is a museum that takes a critical look at the country's recent heritage and what it means to be Austrian. The main exhibition, 'New Ages: Austria since 1918', presents a journey through the last 100 years of Austrian history, covering themes such as democracy, Nazi terror, equality, migration, and nationality. The museum features modern displays, multimedia elements, and personal stories from those involved in the events covered. It also hosts special exhibitions and offers a ticket that includes access to the Ephesos Museum. The museum is situated in the historical rooms of the Neue Burg, part of Vienna's Hofburg on Heldenplatz, and is accessible for people with disabilities

Activities: We visited the Haus der Geschichte Österreich. Our son, Nunu, used a free puzzle sheet to explore the exhibition. "For children there is a puzzle rally, which leads through the exhibition. Here, children can playfully discover 100 years of Austrian history."
Highlights: The puzzle rally made the museum visit engaging. The kids enjoyed the interactive stations. "Our 8-year-old son Nunu particularly liked the topic 'Money in the Crisis,' which was illustrated by a turntable, showing how prices changed after the First World War." ✨
