House of Austrian History
In November 2018, the House of Austrian History – the first museum in Austria to focus on contemporary history – will open to the public in the Neue Burg on Heldenplatz. The museum, operated by the Austrian National Library, invites visitors to examine Austria’s history in concisely recounted and contemporary presentation.
Starting with the foundation of the democratic republic in 1918, the exhibition focuses on social change and political fault lines. Questions aimed at the past yet relevant to the present aim to highlight courses of action for the present and future.
