Museum of Society and Economics

Adult education and information

Vogelsanggasse 36
Vienna, Vienna 1050
+43 1 545 2551
http://www.wirtschaftsmuseum.at/

People interested in topical information about economics and matters sociological or anthropological should visit this museum, which explores the human being and his disposition in a networking society. The aim of the museum, in the sense of its founder Otto Neurath, is to represent the complicated and complex connections of economy and society in a way which may be understood by everybody; the idea of adult education was, in his time (around 1920), very modern. This institution could be described more as a mixture betweeen school and museum than as a museum in the usual sense.
