Welt in Bewegung

What is it about?

People are on the go, cities grow, history progresses …in a word: the world keeps going round and round. That is why the Lower Austria State Exhibition 2019 is dedicating two exhibition venues in the heart of Wiener Neustadt to the “World in Motion!”.Moving worlds - yesterday, today, tomorrowThe Kasematten, a former city fortification and now a unique architectural monument, is where the history of mobility comes to life. The focus of this exhibition is the Wiener Neustadt area and the city’s relationships with the rest of the world. Multimedia presentations, fascinating objects and extraordinary biographies form the cornerstones of a time journey through the past, present and future. How will mobility shape our life in the future?City cosmos – beyond the city limitsWiener Neustadt presents itself against the backdrop of global history in the former 13th-century abbey church of Museum St. Peter an der Sperr. The focus here is on the reigns of Habsburg Emperors Frederick III and Maximilian I, and Wiener Neustadt as their famed seat of power. The city’s historical development – from onetime imperial residence to industrial city and the modern-day centre of innovation it is today – is told through the biographies of key figures.
