The House of Austrian History
A Forum for Discussion
The House of Austrian History is the republic’s first museum of contemporary history. Presented in a modern and insightful way, the new museum invites visitors to the Hofburg to examine and discuss Austria’s history. Starting with the founding of the democratic republic in 1918, the exhibition focuses on social change and political fault lines. While the questions it asks are aimed at the past, they remain relevant to the present as well. Our main exhibition focuses on social and political changes since the founding of the republic in 1918 and raises questions that were relevant then and remain relevant today in Austria and Europe.
