Pride Month 2023
Teenagers & Adults
To celebrate Pride Month 2023, the museum will project rainbow colours onto its façade on select days. Additionally, a various programme will be offered to engage visitors with the diversity of LGBTQ+ themes.
In the history of technology, queer topics and people did not get a chance to speak for a long time. This is one of the reasons why technology came to be seen as a male, heterosexual domain. The Technisches Museum Wien (Vienna Museum of Science and Technology) shows that this is not the case in a guided tour linking LGBTIQ+ history with technology and society.

The techLAB is also dedicated to Pride Month. Our free, open maker*space can be used for all types of design work, be it printing a shirt with the transfer press, designing a sign with the laser cutter or creating an accessory with the 3D printer.
In our online magazine ZINE, we present museum work and research findings on the topic of “Focus Gender”. Embracing and representing diversity involves creating an inclusive space where new knowledge can be generated. Why this is especially important in a museum of science and technology is examined in more detail in ZINE.
Life story narratives from the online archive of the Austrian Media Library provide private insights into the biographical dimension of queer lifestyles, while historical radio contributions reflect on changes in media discourse.
