Under the Spell of the Railway

200 Years of Train Travel
The railway: a means of transport and a dream machine. No other form of public transport can tell the story of social change and transformation quite like this giant on rails. It captures the imagination of young and old alike, inspiring dreams and desires. Throughout history, it has reshaped the way we work and live, influenced our consumer behaviour, and even led to the invention of precise timekeeping as we know it today.

More than Recycling

The exhibition on the circular economy
Throwing away is a thing of the past. Or is it? What was long considered a matter of course – making the most of resources and using them for as long as possible – seems to have been forgotten today. “More than Recycling” invites us to rethink our relationship with the things we use.
New!
Whether wood, glass, concrete, silicon or rubber – every material we encounter in everyday life tells a story: of resources and raw materials, of craftsmanship and high technology, of society and development. The exhibition Material Worlds at the Technisches Museum Wien (Vienna Museum of Science and Technology) is dedicated to precisely these stories – taking you on an exciting journey through the past, present and future of our materials.

Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, there has been increased public focus on microorganisms, showing that the history of microbes needs to be rethought.
