Winter in particular harbours fond childhood memories for many. But winter in Vienna is not what it used to be. Childhood memories of daily snowball fights or tobogganing in the Prater are a far cry from today’s reality. A once cold, icy, white and dark season has given way to snowless months with almost consistently moderate temperatures. ‘Winter in Vienna’ tells the story of urban life at this turn of the century. In four chapters, the exhibition examines wintry Vienna over the centuries. It tells of the joys and sorrows of the season, from seasonal attractions to the serious differences between rich and poor in experiencing and surviving the cold. At the same time, it repeatedly focuses on the present and the prospect of ever milder winters for Vienna.
