The Austrian Museum of Folk Life and Folk Art (Volkskundemuseum Wien) is an international ethnographic museum, dedicated to cultural history with focus on the historical and present everyday cultures.
The museum was founded in 1895 by Michael Haberlandt and Wilhelm Hein as an association-run scholarly museum in order to document the Habsburg Monarchy. Today, the museum is still run by the Association for Austrian Folk Life (Verein für Volkskunde).
The Schönborn Garden Palace, commissioned by Count Friedrich Karl von Schönborn-Buchheim, Imperial Vice-Chancellor, was built between 1706-1715 after designs by Johann Lucas von Hildebrandt.
The museum features a permanent exhibition as well as changing special exhibitions.
