Dom Museum Wien

The Dom Museum Vienna is Austria's most important museum for historical sacred art and also shows key works of modernism, the post-war avant-garde and contemporary art. A highlight of the collection is the world-famous portrait of Duke Rudolf IV "the Founder" from the House of Habsburg (1339-1365): It is considered the oldest realistic portrait in the West and was probably created around 1360. The picture can be seen permanently in the Dom Museum Vienna. Rudolf IV himself was buried in the catacombs of St. Stephen's Cathedral, right next to the museum.
In addition to the permanent presentation of historical objects, two special exhibitions each year deal with current and relevant topics at the interface of society, religion and art.

Exhibition highlight 2024

To be mortal
October 6, 2023 – August 25, 2024
The exhibition deals with the most inescapable part of every existence: "Being Mortal" traces the deep meaning of death not only in the individual, but also in the collective and socio-political context by means of a comparison of works of art that span a cultural and historical arc from the Middle Ages to the present . Intimate, personal approaches are examined as well as the public, political role of dying and the confrontation with it.
