About
The Austrian Museum of Folk Life and Folk Art (German: Österreichisches Museum für Volkskunde), commonly known as the Volkskundemuseum Wien, is an ethnographic museum in Vienna, Austria. It is one of the largest museums of its kind in Europe and holds extensive collections of folk art as well as material relating to historical and contemporary everyday cultures in Europe.
The museum is based at Laudongasse 15–19 in the 8th district of Vienna, in the Gartenpalais Schönborn. During the renovation process, for which planning began in 2021 and implementation started in early 2025, the museum relocated its activities to Pavilion 1 of the Otto Wagner Areal in Vienna's 14th district.
