Abstract	What does a learning center for civic education do in a museum environment? How and why can democracy be taught in a museum? The Museum Arbeitswelt in Steyr, Austria, offers with its "Politikwerkstatt" a learning environment for people of different age groups where they can learn, discuss, and talk about democracy. This article shows the history of the Museum Arbeitswelt which was opened in 1987 and the reason why civic education is and has always been a part of the museums educational approach. In detail the genesis of the "Politikwerkstatt" and its offers, as well as the "Tunnel of Memory," another learning environment close to the museum are discussed. This article shows that a museum like the Museum Arbeitswelt can offer important educational offerings to ensure that our democracy will prevail in the future. (As Provided).
