Lecture: “Vienna – the best city to live in?”

April 29, 12 am

Vienna has invariably been at the top of the world's best cities to live rankings for many years. Its citizens are appreciating the rich history of the Austrian capital, easily accessible culture, and impressive architecture, but also the high quality of public services and numerous municipal housing investments.

The host will present how Vienna has changed throughout the centuries, from the 19th century, that is, the birth of a modern metropolis, all the way to modern times, defined by the ecological challenges, issues of sustained development, and new approach to the public space concept. The lecture is related to the “Myth of Galicia” exhibition, presented in the ICC Gallery from October 10, 2014 to March 8, 2015.

The meeting will be held online on the Zoom platform. Admission free. To receive a link to participate, please send a request to warsztaty@mck.krakow.pl.

The lecture is a part of the “Decades with Art” series.
