Here are some notable museums you can visit when you travel with us:
Jüdisches Museum Wien
First founded in 1896, the Jewish Museum in Vienna is perceived to be the first Jewish museum in the world. This museum highlights the history of Jews during the Austro-Hungarian Empire. It has also collections of objects from Palestine.
You can also visit the annex of the museum where you can find interesting documentation about the social, religious, and cultural lives of the Viennese Jews in the Middle Ages.

This museum wants to portray synagogues as the only Jewish house of worship in Bratislava, thus the main “exhibit” is the synagogue itself.
This Jewish museum features items from Judaic collections and other collections associated with the
Jewish holocaust.
Visiting the museum will make you feel the authenticity of the environment – the true aura of a synagogue.
