Vienna. A city reflected in literature PREVIEW

The city as a dream landscape and place of memory, as a utopia and crime scene: Many works of Austrian post-1945 literature are set in Vienna.

The special exhibition, “Vienna. A city reflected in literature”, in the Austrian National Library’s Literature Museum presents surprising and ever-changing images of the city: astonishing manuscripts, photographs and personal documents, some displayed for the first time in public, alongside film extracts and sound recordings.
