The anniversary programme begins right at the start: a birthday celebration around the founding and the founder – but who are we actually celebrating? Curator Paul Kassing and his team, as part of a special exhibition on Georg Kotek, the folk song researcher, present connections in his work. On board are the Österreichisches Volksliedwerk and the Wiener Phonomuseum. A diverse programme offers a variety of perspectives on this man and his legacy.
From October we focus on the question of what a district museum should actually collect and preserve. A carefully assembled sequence of archive workdays at the Bezirksmuseum, impulse lectures and workshops on the collection strategies of comparable museums, and several excursions to exemplary archives and intensive discussion processes round off the shared path to the 1st Sammlungsstrategie of the BM7. The Stabstelle Bezirksmuseen at the Wien Museum accompanies this effort with its own expertise. We look forward to welcoming you!
