Ex­ile Net­work

The virtual museum "Arts in exile" sees itself as a network project that brings together the resources of research institutions, collections and exhibition organisers to present the phenomenon exile on a platform that reaches as wide an audience as possible.

    Wienbibliothek im Rathaus

    Founded in 1856 as a communal or civil service library, today’s Vienna City Library soon developed – instigated when the library inherited the estate of Franz Grillparzer in 1879 – to become an important cultural historical archive. The library and its collections count today as one of Vienna’s three largest scholarly libraries and it is the most important institution for research into the city’s cultural history after 1750.
