Despite its size, the Nordwestbahnhof seems to
have largely faded from the awareness of the Viennese. Before the area gives
way to a new residential quarter, an exhibition on-site will bring the eventful
history and current state of this last inner-city logistics hub to a broader
audience's remembrance.
Embedded in the social milieu of the logistics
landscape, the MUSEUM presents a multi-layered, multimedia cartography
consisting of photos, films, objects, plans, and models related to its history.
However, the exhibition space also serves as a communication and collection
vessel situated in the heart of the research field. Showcased here are, among
other things, the companies and individuals that have shaped the area or
continue to significantly influence it to this day. The exhibition is
complemented by a growing collection of video interviews with individuals who
have worked here (formerly) as well as residents. These narratives recount the
logistics routine on-site, events surrounding the goods yard, as well as
personal experiences of migration and mobility.
