Ostarrichi Kulturhof (Museum of Austrian History)

From the Ostarrichi Charter to the signing of the Treaty on European Union: the Ostarrichi Kulturhof takes you through Austria's history in 7 steps. From the document from the year 996 to the most challenging moments of the 20th century to EU accession, the history of our country is told in a lively way. Interactive and entertaining, it opens up access to one of the most interesting historical documentations on the concept of Austria.

One thousand year old seeds are waiting to be viewed. The oldest Wachau woman "Fanny" - a statue made 34,000 years ago - introduces herself. Information about the Babenbergs, the crown lands of the Habsburg monarchy and politics after 1945 is presented in a clear and understandable way.

Ostarrichi-Kulturhof: creative history lessons for children and young people
The Ostarrichi Kulturhof explains historical events and milestones to young people in an age-appropriate and playful way: an extensive range of educational activities invites them to marvel, explore and learn. Young guests can slip into the role of an emperor, make a crown or seal their own Ostarrichi certificate.

Older children and young people are encouraged to actively engage with historical and current facts - on multi-touch monitors or at the Europa game table.
