GANZ WIEN, Pop Culture! A Blend Of Art & History With Exceptional Exhibitions At The Wien Museum am Karlsplatz.
Vienna and it's pop culture is calling! When you take the time and go to visit one of my favourite museums in Vienna, The Wien Museum, you will feel the city and it's myth, as well as inestimable art treasures, spread out on three floors, close by the fabulous Karlkirche.

Listen first to the classic and famous "Vienna Sound" from one of the best electronic albums ever K&D Sessions by Dorfmeister&Kruder and let me introduce you to a couple of exhibitions I saw next.
Do yourself a favour and get this CD. There is not one song, you wouldn't like.

So, I am very lucky to hold a Kultur Pass and get free entry to most museums in Vienna.
Today, I will share two exhibitions, I explored and really loved in the past year.
You can find many more here : Archive/Exhibitions
1. SEX IN VIENNA, DESIRE. CONTROL. TRANSGRESSION 15 September 2016 to 22 January 2017
"Sex and the city: an intimate relationship as sensual as it is shocking and scandalous. Never have the forms, meanings, and valuations attached to sex changed so radically than during the process of urbanization. The modern metropolis provided spaces of freedom and promised anonymity. At the same time, it offered an outlet from social control and the fulfillment of sexual desires. But the city also enabled novel modes of surveillance, resulting in new ways of disciplining and categorizing sex." - Source from website

2. Vienna calling, A History of Pop Music - 14 September 2017 to 25 March 2018
"The exhibition gives center stage to Vienna’s most influential musicians and portrays six decades of pop history through the lens and soundscape of Vienna’s hottest and hippest bars, night clubs, squat houses, radio stations, and studios. Start off at the Strohkoffer, an artists’ hangout in the 1950s, then stop in at the Atlantis folk music club and the 1980s cult disco U4. Sample the lounge ambience of Kruder & Dorfmeister’s studio where 1990s Vienna downbeat was invented, and for more hard-edged electronica, rhizis still the place to go."- Source/Wien Museum

I was interested in this tour, when I read an add that our famous electronic DJ/Producer Peter Kruder would be a special guest, guiding you through.
Peter in Bali
I dragged myself out of my warm and cosy flat into a grey, rainy Sunday afternoon to hear more about the history of music in Vienna. Unfortunately I missed Peter, I really wanted to say hello to him because we made music history together :) in Indonesia. I booked him a couple of times in Bali.
Nevertheless, my visit to the museum was well worth to get some amazing posters and a few Cd's, before we strolled down the closed on Sundays (which I didn't know ) Naschmarkt to end at a very old Wiener Gasthaus and traditional Beisl "Sopherl" to eat a classic Viennese dish, called " Eiernockerl mit gruenem Salat".
My airbnb guests will be pleased to see those posters in their room

I also suggest to stop at "Cafe Kunsthalle am Karlsplatz" to drink the most delicious hot lemon. ginger and mint" tea I ever had.
