The Vienna Prater

The new Prater Museum – the exhibition publication

At the center of the Wurstelprater amusement park, on the site of a former amusement arcade, the new Prater Museum, one of Vienna's first public buildings to be constructed in wood, opens in 2 24.

The role of the Prater park as a traditional place of leisure and amusement is a special focus of the Wien Museum. In addition to original objects – including carousel figures, parts of a ghost train, early slot machines, and Punch and Judy figures – the Prater collection includes plans, models, photographs, admission tickets, program booklets, posters, and works of art.

This book introduces the highlights of the more than 3 objects in the new Prater Museum. It deals with the big issues of modern life: the relationship between nature and city man and animal modern technology and the human body.
