About Weltmuseum Wien Friends

About Weltmuseum Wien Friends

The Weltmuseum Wien Friends (formerly Freunde der Völkerkunde) were founded more than 70 years ago. When the Museum was renamed in early 2013, the Friends changed their name as well.  

The Weltmuseum Wien Friends are committed to support the Weltmuseum Wien by funding academic lectures, presentations, guided tours, events, collection acquisitions, object restorations, scientific research, and by editing the scientific publication “Archive Weltmuseum Wien”.

Your membership as a Weltmuseum Wien Friend promotes intercultural dialogue and helps to deepen the general knowledge and understanding of non-European societies.

We gladly send you the applicable Articles of Association of the Weltmuseum Wien Friends upon request.

Mit der Welt News wollen wir Ihnen helfen, mehr darüber zu erfahren, wofür das Museum steht und was sich hier Spannendes tut – in den Ausstellungen, im Rahmen unseres vielfältigen Programms und „hinter den Kulissen“. Wir wollen Ihnen auch die Menschen vorstellen, die das alles ermöglichen: die Kurator*innen, die Vermittler*innen, die Konservator*innen, die Künstler*innen und Kooperationspartner*innen sowie die Mitarbeiter*innen im Guest Service.
