District Museum Favoriten

The district museum Favoriten is the district museum and local history museum of the 10th Viennese district Favoriten . It is one of the smaller district museums and is located at Ada-Christen-Gasse 2 C.

The district museum has its roots in the interwar period. A founding committee met in 1934, and in 1938 two classrooms in a school were used as a depot. After 1945 there were occasional exhibitions. It was not until 1978 that the Favoriten District Museum received its own premises in the “House of Encounters” in the Per-Albin-Hansson-Siedlung Ost .

The focus of the collection is on geology and paleontology . The historically significant brick production and the associated migration flows (“ Ziegelböhm ”) are also honored. The exhibits include the original figures of the spinner on the cross and the Beschorner cross . A historic classroom is also shown. The museum also organizes guided tours through the gravestone grove in Waldmüllerpark (the former Matzleinsdorf cemetery) and has a branch at the Johanneskirche Unterlaa (domus devomari). The museum is open every Thursday from 4pm to 7pm.

The original of the Beschorner Cross is now in the district museum and has been replaced by a copy at the old location in Favoritenstrasse.
