The Wien Museum was the first Austrian museum owned entirely by the common people, instead of aristocrats. With this background, the museum always maintained a very open, democratic and inclusive mindset. The new online collection perfectly captures this attitude by opening the doors to everyone in digital space.
With immediate effect, over 47,000 objects from a wide variety of collection areas are available to the public at sammlung.wienmuseum.at. As a material pool and image database, the online collection can be used for scientific, creative or journalistic purposes, but also for school lessons or simply privately. Many images are available as open content.
An intuitive search mask and a structured layout guide the user through the website. The speedy implementation which was developed by Urbantrout and Nikolaus Wettstein guarantee a satisfying user experience.
The collection has been sectioned and organised carefully by the curators and can be filtered easily through several levels. The user can find highlights and objects from past exhibitions, as well as whole bundles of photography, graphics, painting and fashion. The search often delivers surprising hits and invites you to browse!
