Projects
The Museumsmanagement Niederösterreich works with national and international partners on projects to research, preserve and convey cultural heritage. The project partners include universities, colleges and museums as well as municipalities, federal states, regions and the European Union.
Various projects are dedicated to the inventory and digitization of collections, the processing of the founding history of city museums as well as the presentation and communication of the cultural heritage for a young audience. The focus is always on making museum treasures and special features visible.
Neighborhood, regional and cross-border projects are important initiatives for cultural networking. They create a direct dialogue and enrich through collaborative work. They are essential building blocks that create an authentic and cosmopolitan culture with a lively perspective.
