Rescue Then & Now - from the Ambulance Carriage to the Defibrillator

What's it about?

At the Museum Traiskirchen, the whole family can immerse themselves in the fascinating history of rescue and first aid. From the 19th-century ambulance carriage to the modern defibrillator, the exhibition impressively shows how emergency care has changed and improved over generations. Children aged 8 and over can explore historical and current emergency vehicles and rescue equipment up close and try out basic first aid measures themselves. This turns a museum visit into an active learning experience that imparts important life-saving knowledge while also being fun. Traiskirchen is located in the district of Baden in Lower Austria and is easily accessible from Vienna by public transport. Admission is 3 euros per child. An educational and entertaining excursion for families who want to introduce their children to history and first aid in a playful way.
