The Az W is once again participating in the Austria-wide “Long Night of Research“ event, which is being held at over 280 venues across the country. Admission is free in all nine federal states for you to discover some exciting, surprising and even astonishing things that are often hidden from view!

A Jukebox with Questions

Every 7 minutes you can select your most pressing question in the permanent exhibition “Hot Questions — Cold Storage,“ and one of our mediators will answer it. The choices include, for example: Who shapes the city? Who else is involved? How can we survive? or, who takes care of us? You choose, we answer.

18:30

Nation Building Here and There

In this guided tour we explore the construction of identity through architecture in the permanent display “Hot Questions — Cold Storage“ and in the exhibition “Global — Neutral. Architecture from Austria in Africa and Asia 1955-1989.“
