House of Austrian History
Through its exhibitions, the House of Austrian History offers insights into the most significant political, social, cultural, and economic developments of the last century right up to the present day.
In the main exhibition ‘New Ages: Austria since 1918’, surprising objects, never-before-seen documents, works of art, and interactive media displays bring contemporary history to life.
The exhibition ‘It's All Work. Women’s Paid and Unpaid Labour, Fotoarchiv Blaschka 1950-1966’ at the Alma Rosé plateau examines the relationship between paid, unpaid and precarious work in the lives of women in the post-war period. What counts as work – and what work often remains unseen to this day?
