*Press conference 'Das rote Wien'/ Red Vienna @wienmuseum * First of all: very nice Exhibition Design! Vienna's first free municipal election,  held in 1919, results in an absolute majority for the Social Democratic Party. A reform project commences, attracting abroad and fierce antagonism from opponents at home. The goal is far-reaching democratization of society as well as the dramatic improvement of workers' conditions. The initial situation is catastrophic. In the wake of World War I, Vienna is in a state of massive crisis. Housing is the central issue. A revolutionary fiscal policy, built around a luxury tax, provides funding for the creation of over 60,000 apartments along with numerous social, leisure, and cultural facilities by 1934. The exhibition reaches from Wienmuseum to over a dozen locations across the city. Structured around a series of themes, these “walkable objects” are accessible temporarily, revealing Red Vienna’s rich architectural heritage – the built utopia that has become part of Vienna’s urban landscape. 1 Exhibition View 2 Model of a kitchen scullery 2019 for an urban settlement dwelling 1923 Design Margarete Lihotzky 3,4 Model of a chair for an urban settlement dwelling 1923 Design Margarete Lihotzky 5 Neurath Elephant Trademark with which Otto Neurath signed many of his letters. 6 Fanfares Instruments of the Viennese Worker's Gymnastics Association which were presumably used at the 1931 Worker's Olympics. . . #Wienmuseum #dasrotewien #redvienna #viennanow #socialhousing #austrianhistory #igersaustria #igersvienna #artinvienna #ArtsyVisualStorytelling #artsycontentcreator #visualstoryteller #walmatwien #ig_ometry #exhibitiondesign (at Wien Museum MUSA) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw6x62-hZzh/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=pautsakugvdk
