The Art of Being a World Culture Museum

This exhibition shows a selection of photos by Wolfgang Thaler from the book The Art of Being a World Culture Museum, which gives a glimpse of the variety and practices of ten museums in Europe by giving a lively insight into exhibition ambiances, work environments, museums architecture, and the collections. The visual narrative focuses on context rather than objects and enables us to gaze behind the scenes of museum work and to discover angles that are usually concealed from the visitors.

The book, which forms the basis for this exhibition, was edited by Barbara Plankensteiner, published by Kerber Verlag and produced in the frame of the project SWICH (Sharing a World of Inclusion, Creativity and Heritage), co-funded by the Creative Europe Programme of the European Union.
