Discover Die Großen Vier der Mariahilfer Straße: A Permanent Exhibition on Vienna's Department Store History

This compact permanent exhibition focuses on the most important department stores on Vienna's Mariahilfer Straße: Herzmansky, Gerngroß, Esders, and Zentralpalast. It tells the stories of these significant retail establishments.

The exhibition "Die Großen Vier der Mariahilfer Straße" delves into the history of four prominent department stores that shaped Vienna's Mariahilfer Straße: Herzmansky, Gerngroß, Esders, and Zentralpalast. This compact, permanent display aims to tell the significant stories of these retail giants within a limited space. The exhibition was a collaborative effort, with a curatorial team including Claus Fronius and Daniela Holzer conceptualizing the narrative. Monika Grußmann designed an interactive exhibit piece, brought to life by Ulrich Aschl's construction. Silvia Klettner created a graphical overview of the department store histories, and Julia Sobota, with expert support from Ernst Michalek, expanded the exhibition space digitally and corrected errors. This project highlights the successful collaboration and dedication involved in preserving and presenting local history.

This is a compact permanent exhibition. Details regarding admission or specific ticketing for this exhibition within the museum should be sought through the museum's general visit information.
