Here you can learn about the connections between politicians' decisions and their concrete effects on the lives of people in this region, with special reference to the municipality of Bildein and the neighboring municipality in Hungary, Pornopati (Pernau).
It is designed in the "Kredenz system," which means many shops and boxes to open and look inside, allowing anyone to gather as much information as they would like. Using everyday objects, photos, documents, and memories of the residents of this small border town, you will trace the past of Burgenland. Numerous exhibits directly relate to the life world of the exhibition visitors, inviting you to touch and try out (this is almost always allowed in the "geschichte(n)haus") and vividly show how living conditions have changed.
The multimedia design and, not least, the loving care of the "geschichte(n)haus ladies" make a visit to the Burgenland "geschichte(n)haus" a true experience.
Our museum also offers museum educational development programs for children and young people. Age-appropriate focus tours invite school classes and youth groups of all ages to engage actively with the history of Burgenland and the topic of borders.
The award-winning Burgenland "geschichte(n)haus" deals with the history of Burgenland in an interactive, often playful, and unique way. The museum provides visitors with insights into the history of the youngest Austrian federal state from its founding moment in 1921 to the latest current developments.
Open even on holidays from 2:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
Free entry to the museum with the Burgenland Card.
Entrance fee without Burgenland Card: € 6,-
