New cultural area: Film Museum and Photo Arsenal open in 2025

Arsenal, Wien, Österreich - in Vienna are two major cultural projects during the start! The Austrian Film Museum is currently taking a comprehensive move that is second to none in the history of the museum. In the new Filmmuseum Lab, which was designed as a modern competence center for conservation and archiving, up to 500,000 objects, including over 38,000 film titles, are to be relocated to new, rust -resistant containers. Museum director Michael Liebenstein announced that around 85 trucks will be on the road to bring the valuable treasures to their new location in the Arsenal. A temperature of six degrees Celsius with an air humidity between 35 and 40 percent is planned to optimally store the sensitive films. The new collection is not only reorganized, but also digitized, and thus the barcoding of the objects becomes part of a new archive system.

The opening of the photo Arsenal Vienna and the Filmmuseum Lab becomes the Arsenal into a pulsating cultural cluster, which is supposed to offer numerous synergetic possibilities for art and media. Petra Höfinger from Art for Art emphasizes that this new cultural focus will develop both local and international radiance. Both projects are intended to promote the diversity of culture and the understanding of art in the city of Vienna, while at the same time the infrastructure for the approximately 2,500 residents and employees in the arsenal is improved, such as press.wien.gv.at reported.
