more about this exhibition

This exhibition shines a spotlight on ten plants that have been favourites of European living rooms and balconies for centuries, though their natural habitats are outside the continent. These plants share a history with our ethnographic collections; some of them joined the objects on long naval voyages to reach Europe and the museums.

In collaboration with the University of Applied Arts Vienna, the Weltmuseum Wien is reinterpreting the ethnological museum as not merely a repository for silent artefacts, but as a laboratory for future, globally sustainable lifestyles. By learning from diverse knowledge systems, museum collections can become tools for sustainable design strategies.

more about this exhibition

As the very heart of the Museum, the permanent exhibition has been redesigned from the ground up. Strung together like a chain of pearls, the series of stories told in the thirteen galleries feature the core of the permanent exhibition combined with contemporary interpretations. We would like to give you the opportunity to explore these galleries and get a first glimpse of what there is to see at the Weltmuseum Wien.
