The Wien Museum Director gives his “personal take” on the city he’s spent his life interpreting
In a recent interview with Director Wolfgang Kos in the Wien Museum – the museum of the history of the City of Vienna – one couldn’t help being curious about his personal take on the city he spends his life trying to interpret. A man who knows the city so well must have some favourite Vienna things.
“I like the drama behind facades,” Kos began. “At first sight, it’s a beautiful city, which can be boring in a certain way. It’s a well-organised city, without shock and sensation. When you look at the history, Vienna is a well-criticised city, particularly from the intellectuals. And some of this criticism has been very witty.
