This page announces the opening of the MUSMIG (Museum der Migration) space, a 'thinking space' dedicated to the concept of a Museum of Migration in Austria. The opening event on March 29, 2025, will feature discussions, manifesto writing, dancing, and celebration, aiming to foster reflection on collective, open-ended, and anti-racist exhibition processes.
The MUSMIG (Museum der Migration) is launching its presence in Pavilion 1 at the Otto Wagner Area of the Volkskundemuseum Wien, marking a significant step for the initiative that has been advocating for a Museum of Migration in Austria since 2019. This space is not envisioned as a static, monolithic exhibition, but rather as a dynamic 'Denkraum' (thinking space) curated to facilitate critical discourse on collective, open-ended, and anti-racist approaches to collecting and exhibiting. The opening event on March 29, 2025, serves as a platform for showcasing current projects, collaboratively creating manifestos, engaging in debates, and celebrating the project's progression. It is designed to encourage reflection and build momentum towards the establishment of a permanent Museum of Migration. The initiative is a collective effort involving historians, social and cultural scientists, artists, and activists. The launch at the Otto Wagner Area signifies a new phase for MUSMIG, inviting the public to engage with the ongoing development of its curatorial and collection strategies. The space aims to be a hub for discussion and action, reflecting the diverse experiences and ongoing dialogues surrounding migration in Austria, and paving the way for inclusive and critical future museum practices.
The page details an opening event on March 29, 2025, at the Otto Wagner Area, Pavilion 1. Specific ticketing information for the event or the ongoing 'thinking space' is not provided, but general museum opening hours (Tuesday-Friday, 10 AM - 5 PM) are listed separately for the Volkskundemuseum Wien itself.
