  • Vienna Guide
    April 22—24, 2015, Vienna, Austria Hotel Park Royal Palace Vienna Guide SIGHTSEEING Vienna is old, Vienna is new… and the sights are so varied: from the magnificent Baroque buildings to “golden” Art Nouveau to the latest architecture. And over 100 museums beckon… ALBERTINA The Albertina has the largest and most valuable graphical collection in the world, including works such as Dürer’s “Hare” and Klimt‘s studies of women. Its latest exhibition presents masterpieces of the Modern era, spanning from Monet to Picasso and Baselitz. As the largest Hapsburg residential palace, the Albertina dominates the southern tip of the Imperial Palace on one of the last remaining fortress walls in Vienna. ANKER CLOCK This clock (built 1911–14) was created by the painter and sculptor Franz von Matsch and is a typical Art Nouveau design. It forms a bridge between the two parts of the Anker Insurance Company building. In the course of 12 hours, 12 historical figures (or pairs of figures) move across the bridge. Every day at noon, the figures parade, each accompanied by music from its era. AUGARTEN PORCELAIN MANUFacTORY Founded in 1718, the Vienna Porcelain Manufactory is the second-oldest in Europe. Now as then, porcelain continues to be made and painted by hand. Each piece is thus unique. A tour of the manufactory in the former imperial pleasure palace at Augarten gives visitors an idea of how much love for detail goes into the making of each individual piece. The designs of Augarten have been created in cooperation with notable artists since the manufactory was established.

The current European agenda commands us to tackle these topics as broadly as possible, and a civil society input is mostly needed. Hence, the Lifelong Learning Platform dedicates the 2018 Annual Conference to the ties between education and culture. Those two worlds are often close to each other, and yet there are little structures in place to build a true partnership. Within these few days, we would like to address the real question behind this phenomenon: how to create lifelong learning societies through synergies between education and culture? We will be drawing from our experience, building on our members’ expertise, pooling resources and fighting for what we stand for: to build more inclusive societies based on education.” David López President of the Lifelong Learning Platform rue de l’Industrie, 10 - 1000 Bruxelles tel: +32 (0)2 893 25 15 e-mail: [email protected] DOWNTOWN VIENNA AND ITS SURROUNDINGS Greater Vienna Inner city VENUES Star Inn Premium Hotel Wien Hauptbahnhof Gerhard-Bronner-Straße 5, 1100 Wien, Austria Technische Universität Wien Karlsplatz 13, 1040 Wien, Austria Rathauskeller Rathauspl. 1, 1010 Wien, Austria Das Columbus Columbuspl. 6, 1100 Wien, Austria Did you know?

  • New Cultural Project Comes to Life Under Vienna's Karlsplatz with the Aid of TROSIFOL
    PRESS RELEASE More than a traffic hub: New cultural project comes to life under Vienna's Karlsplatz with the aid of TROSIFOL After three years for construction, the busiest local public transport hub in Austria's capital has been resplendent in its new glory for about a year now. "Kulturpassage Karlsplatz" is the project and is much more than a means of interlinking metro stations – now barrier-free – so that over 200,000 travellers can get to their trains. "The main beneficiaries of this revitalisation project are the many thousands of users of the underground walkway. And Vienna as the city with the highest quality of life worldwide has been upgraded as well," says a gratified Mayor Michael Häupl. A total of EUR 21 million has been invested in the regeneration of the old Karlsplatz station. Art in public places The designers attached special importance to the integration of the new Karlsplatz station in its environment of listed monuments. Karlsplatz, a public square, is situated in the centre of Vienna in the immediate proximity of numerous time-honoured art and cultural institutions such as the Opera House, the Vienna Museum, the Musikverein concert hall and the Karlskirche (church). "Art's ability to unite finds successful and literal expression in the new subterranean art walkway where it serves as a connecting element at the heart of the revitalisation project," says Andeas Mailath-Pokorny, head of the city's culture department. On the information screens provided, visitors to the underground walkway are informed not only of train departure times, but also of current exhibitions and events in the surrounding arts venues.

  • Historic Centre of Vienna
    WHC Nomination Documentation File Name: 1033.pdf UNESCO Region: EUROPE AND THE NORTH AMERICA __________________________________________________________________________________________________ SITE NAME: Historic Centre of Vienna DATE OF INSCRIPTION: 16th December 2001 STATE PARTY: AUSTRIA CRITERIA: C (ii)(iv)(vi) DECISION OF THE WORLD HERITAGE COMMITTEE: Excerpt from the Report of the 25th Session of the World Heritage Committee The Committee inscribed the Historic Centre of Vienna on the World Heritage List under criteria (ii), (iv), and (vi): Criterion (ii): The urban and architectural qualities of the Historic Centre of Vienna bear outstanding witness to a continuing interchange of values throughout the second millennium. Criterion (iv): Three key periods of European cultural and political development - the Middle Ages, the Baroque period, and the Gründerzeit - are exceptionally well illustrated by the urban and architectural heritage of the Historic Centre of Vienna. Criterion (vi): Since the 16th century Vienna has been universally acknowledged to be the musical capital of Europe. While taking note of the efforts already made for the protection of the historic town of Vienna, the Committee recommended that the State Party undertake the necessary measures to review the height and volume of the proposed new development near the Stadtpark, east of the Ringstrasse, so as not to impair the visual integrity of the historic town. Furthermore, the Committee recommended that special attention be given to continuous monitoring and control of any changes to the morphology of the historic building stock. BRIEF DESCRIPTIONS Vienna developed from early Celtic and Roman settlements into a Medieval and Baroque city, the capital of the Austro- Hungarian Empire. It played an essential role as a leading European music centre, from the great age of Viennese Classicism through the early part of the 20th century.

The winner of the international architecture competition for the redesign of the WIEN MUSEUM on Karlsplatz has been chosen. During their assembly on 19.11.2015, the international jury selected a design by the Austrian architecture team Winkler + Ruck (Klagenfurt) and Ferdinand Certov (Graz) as the winning project from 274 proposals. Central to the design is a floating structure that shows off the Haerdtl Building in a new light and opens the museum up to Karlsplatz. ‘The idea is as simple as it is brilliant: the extension will sprout from the roof of the museum,’ said the jury. Culture Councillor Andreas Mailath-Pokorny, who presented the winner along with the Director of the WIEN MUSEUM, called the project an ‘impressive architectural solution for this sensitive area. The design combines old and new by looking towards the future in a clear, urban and confident architectural language.’ The next step in the project’s realisation will be to negotiate with the designers of the winning concept. The results of the architectural competition can be freely viewed in the WIEN MUSEUM on Karlsplatz from 26.11.2015.
