Jewish Museum Vienna (Judisches Museum der Stadt Wien)

The museum is well laid out with a brutally honest permanent exhibition which calls the Austrian government to task for the role it has played in both the Third Reich and more contemporary instances of anti-Semitism while also telling the story of Viennese Jewry throughout the ages. The Jewish Museum Vienna is a trip well worth making.
