PALAIS UND GÄRTEN DER JOSEFSTADT

The exhibition "Palais und Gärten der Josefstadt. Als Pracht entstand und Pflanzen wuchsen." is devoted to the development of Vienna's Josefstadt into a densely built-up district. Using historical plans, engravings and archival sources, baroque palaces and their gardens are not only partially reconstructed, but their original purpose and their transformation are also described. Visitors gain insights into garden art, botany and the profession of gardeners, as well as into the changes in urban open spaces. The exhibition makes visible how closely architecture, nature and social change are interconnected.
