Celebrating a Century of Heritage: The Meidling District Museum Centenary Exhibition in Vienna

This exhibition celebrates the centenary of the Meidling District Museum, the oldest of its kind in Vienna. It highlights the museum's founding in 1923 by local citizens and prominent artists, and showcases its collection of paintings, drawings, prints, and sculptures donated by various artists over the years.

The exhibition '100 Jahre Bezirksmuseum Meidling 1923-2023' marks a significant milestone for Vienna's oldest district museum. Founded in 1923 by a dedicated group of citizens, including teachers and notable artists such as Anton Hlavacek, Ludwig Heinrich Jungnickel, Anton Hanak, and Franz von Zülow, the museum has a rich history. Its establishment was supported by a dedicated association, whose presidency has consistently been held by the respective district mayor, and its operations have been sustained by the voluntary efforts of its directors and staff. The museum's collection, comprising valuable paintings, drawings, prints, and sculptures, is largely a result of donations from artists who exhibited there. These include works by artists like Hans Bitterlich, Hans Alex Brunner, Fritz Hänlein, Anton Hlavacek, Ludwig Heinrich Jungnickel, Elfriede Ott, Karl Perl, Eugen Szloboda, Konstantin and Josef Stoitzner, and Willy Verkauf-Verlon, among many others. The exhibition offers a look into the history and artistic legacy of this important Viennese institution.

Information regarding admission and visiting hours can typically be found on the museum's website. As a district museum, it often relies on general museum entry policies rather than separate exhibition ticketing, but visitors are advised to check the official site for current details.
