| Wien Museum | The Wien Museum is an urban, universal museum with a wide range of collections and exhibitions - from urban history via art up to fashion and everyday culture, and epoch-wise from the earliest settlement to the present. With this generalist approach and its interdisciplinary potential the Wien Museum occupies a unique position within the Viennese museum landscape. It is present at several places within the city. Using the city of Vienna as a frame of reference, it addresses comprehensive societal, cultural and urban changes in a variety of big cities. When contemplating history and working with its relics, the museum seeks to keep its mind open for topical themes and issues. This endeavor is based on the conservation, study and permanent reinterpretation of the objects in its collections and their role in human life. While the Wien Museum does not primarily see itself as an art museum, the occupation with art and the preconditions of its emergence are among its remits. Esthetic phenomena are put into the context of sociopolitics and cultural heritage and addressed with questions transcending the realm of esthetics (“art plus x” as a principle). The history of the city and its civilizations is not conceived of as an homogenized process: when collecting and exhibiting its relics it is being treated as the outcome of life styles, interests and the memories of humans of diverse origins. Henceforth, col-lection activities will be guided by the principles of radical selectivity and the significant detail. The collections are focused on Vienna and future acquisitions will favor objects of the 20th and 21st centuries. The Wien Museum is a knowledge repository and a public medium. To the Viennese, both the autochthones and newcomers, and their temporary guests it provides space for thought and reflection. www.wienmuseum.at | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
