New wind in the city museum Bad Ischl: Dr. Herta Neiß takes over the management

A new wind blows in the museum of the city of Bad Ischl. Since October 1, 2024, Dr. Herta Neiß, an experienced historian from the Kepler University Linz, took over the management. It succeeds Maria Sams, who has shaped the museum and Leharvilla with their volunteer work for many years.

under the leadership of Dr. Neiß, together with Dr. Michael John, the museum experienced a significant redesign. This includes the introduction of a new concept that already bears the first fruits. The permanent exhibition entitled "Welcome to Hotel Austria" has been set up and is now part of the museum offer. Another area of responsibility for Dr. Neiß is the care of the Leharvilla, which is known as an important cultural site in Bad Ischl.

Farewell to Maria Sams

With the change in the line, an era ended by Maria Sams. The city of Bad Ischl was honored by the city of Bad Ischl. For her services, she received the cultural honor, an award that underlines appreciation for her work. The museum has enriched their leadership and devotion for years and made it a cultural meeting point.

Now the future of the museum is in the hands of Dr. Neiß, which already goes to work with fresh ideas and a modern approach. The community may be excited to see which new impulses it will set, now since the museum has taken a new course.

The city of Bad Ischl is therefore looking forward to an exciting time in which culture and history could be reinterpreted. It remains to be seen how these changes will affect the number of visitors and the popularity of the museum.
