After the war, the area was rezoned for a housing development and much of the camp is now family homes and gardens. However, some of the site remains along with a memorial wall. The museum in town is also on yelp and called "Zeitgeschichte Museum und KZ-Gedenkstätte Ebensee" and you should start there and then come visit the actual site. Its web site is http://www.memorial-ebensee.at/ There is no website for the site, but you can get lots of great info on wikipedia or at: http://en.tracesofwar.com/article/1287/Memorial-and-Cemetery-Concentration-Camp-Ebensee.htm There is not much parking or even great signage to get to the camp location, but it is worth a visit. There are also "Tunnels" you can visit that were dug by this camp's prisioners during the war to hide underground the V2 rocket production. The museum can tell you more.

There is a TL;DR/Summary at the end…read more Somehow, I was expecting this place to be much shinier from the outside. The day was rather drab when I went, and the building didn't look particularly exciting either. Even as the day cleared up, the building did not become much shinier. It does look rather cool at night though. Went here with a group (guided tour) and was therefore not able to see the whole facility. I was, however, able to see the main exhibit and the deep space theater. --- Deep Space is cool in that they project on the floor and on the wall, and they do so in 8K resolution (with 3D projection onto the wall). However, I was unfortunately not particularity impressed with this "theater". First, since people are sitting on the floor, it seems the whole purpose of floor projection is at least partially defeated. Also, with the screen being flat, you do not get a fully immersive experience. Don't get me wrong, it was still wicked cool, and immersive enough that when I was watching the sports videos they were showing, my body was rocking a bit side to side as if to make adjustments (move my body) in the actual sport. Main exhibit was really cool in that they are demoing, or at least have examples of the lastest and greatest technology. Some of it is just really cool, like the exhibit where ricking your head side to side produces an image of an eye (you will see), some that is revolutionary in entertainment, medicine, IoT, or others. For instance, they had 3D printers, eye tracking, a robotic animal designed to keep people company who are in the hospital (especially those who are suffering from dementia or Alzheimer's). They also had lamps with personality, and virtual reality headsets. Two other exhibits I saw were simply informative. In one they discuss that many ways Facebook uses your information (you will want to delete it afterward), and one where you send a text to a number, it is printed and instantly shredded. However, it makes the comment that still, that text is stored on a node somewhere that it passed through before printing and shredding. I was expecting more interactive exhibits, or, rather more staff staffing the interactive exhibits. ---------- TL;DR/Summary: This is a museum of "technological" art. But, art that is not just for self-expression, but for changing the world!!!!! This place shines most on the inside. You will not find ancient technologies, or paintings, or yesterday's news. You will get to experience the latest and greatest in technology that is changing the world. You will get to interact with robots, see how accessible the world is/will be for those with disabilities, see the early stages of groundbreaking medical devices/achievements. You will see how technology in use right now is shaping your personal world (like Facebook's data usage)

There was no admission fee unlike the other concentration camps visited in Germany and Poland. A small fee was charged for a physical audio guide but if you had a smart phone then you can listen to a free online guide. WiFi was available for free. To see one of the free movies you need to check in with the help desk and they would go ahead and setup the room since no one else seemed interested that day of our visit. It was odd having the whole theatre to ourselves but the movie was informative. I recommend seeing the quarry at the start of the tour since it's a bit of a walk away and only reachable via the Stairs of Death. The quarry wasn't much except an open valley now but helpful signage explained what went on and the price the prisoners paid hauling the stones up those horrific stairs (conditions now nothing like how bad it was) to build the camp or to supply other needs. The entire grounds were fully accessible that day but can be closed in poor weather. All visitors entered the camp via the main gate and both the German occupied buildings and those of the prisoners were mostly open. We walked through the chapel, barracks, gas chamber, incinerator, room of names, etc. The museum was comprehensive in telling the story and showing artifacts about the camp, conditions, death and survival, liberation day and more. Overall it wasn't as large as Auschwitz/Birkenau but was still an important to see as each camp presented the history differently. Another unique feature about this site was the large outdoor area dedicated to sculptures and memorials created by artists from around the world or contributed by countries to reflect and honor. We limited our visit to two hours since we needed to be in Vienna by evening but it would be easy to spend more time here.

We were told throughout our visit in the area that you can forgive but you can't forget, and this is a striking memorial of what we need to remember and what we can never allow to happen again. Our day was really foggy so it was hard to see everything outside, but enough of the original grounds, work area, barricks, ... still exist to give you a real understanding of what happened there. It's difficult to take in, but a must see. And so many countries have now built memorials all representing their own story of the site.
