The MUSMIG (Museum of Migration) is establishing a temporary 'thinking space' in Pavillon 1 of the Otto Wagner Areal, beginning March 2025. This initiative aims to develop a framework for a future Museum of Migration in Austria, focusing on an open, antiracist approach to collecting and exhibition processes.
The 'MUSMIG-Raum' at the Volkskundemuseum Wien, located in the Otto Wagner Areal, represents the developing Museum of Migration initiative. Since 2019, a collective of academics, artists, and activists has been advocating for a Museum of Migration in Austria. As of March 2025, MUSMIG will occupy Pavillon 1 of the Otto Wagner Areal, invited by VKM, to begin building and curating its conceptual space. This initiative eschews a fixed exhibition format, instead offering a space to articulate the demand for a Museum of Migration and foster reflection on collective, open-ended, and antiracist methods of gathering and displaying. The space is intended to be a 'thinking space' that actively shapes the discourse around migration and its representation in Austria. An opening event is scheduled for March 29, 2025, and a workshop titled 'Kollektiv Manifeste schreiben mit MUSMIG' is planned for July 5, 2025. The initiative emphasizes a process-oriented and collaborative approach to creating a museum that reflects the complexities of migration.
The page mentions an opening event and a workshop with details for registration. General museum opening hours are listed as Tuesday-Friday, 10 am-5 pm for the Volkskundemuseum Wien at the Otto Wagner Areal. Specific ticketing for the MUSMIG space itself is not detailed beyond event registration.
