"Wien 1945–1955": District Museums Illuminate Post-War Period
On the Day of the District Museums, held annually since 2007, the 23 district and six special museums of the metropolis invite visitors to exhibitions with free admission from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., dedicated to the years before the signing of the State Treaty in 1955 - with a special focus on the situation in each district.
Day of the District Museums Traces History in Vienna
In the Inner City, for example, under the title "Reconstruction," the reconstruction of significant architectural icons after the destructions of the World War is showcased. In Margareten, diary entries by Hilde Schneider, who recorded her experiences around the end of the war, are presented, and in Neubau, the focus is on "Mission Conscious" and the development of radio after 1945. But not only is a district-specific perspective taken, the detailed analysis of certain industries is also given its due, as the Chimney Sweep Museum sheds light on the development of the trade during the period in question with "On a Small Flame," or the Circus & Clown Museum traces the circus history after 1945.
