Vienna Museum

Vienna Museum sits at Karlsplatz 8 and was completed in 1942 to serve as a group of museums in Vienna consisting of the museums of the history of the city. The permanent exhibit of art and the historical collection on the history of Vienna include exhibits dating from the Neolithic to the mid-20th century. The museum opened on 23 April 1959 as the first newly built museum of the Second Republic, and remained the only such for decades. Over the coming years, the Wien Museum on Karlsplatz will be renovated and expanded.
