Museum of the Working World
Upper Austria
The Museum Arbeitswelt (Museum of the Working World) preserves, shows and maintains the cultural memory of working people - from the beginning of the Industrial Revolution to digitalization and beyond. Since 1987, the Museum Arbeitswelt has been the only museum in Austria with this perspective.
Housed in two former factory buildings dating back to the 19th century, the museum is not only the first museum of labour, but has also gained international recognition as an exhibition and event centre since its inception.
