Mistelbach Museum Center
The Museum Center in Mistelbach is a museum complex that was opened in Mistelbach an der Zaya in May 2007 and has since established itself as a kind of "Museum Quarter of the Weinviertel". In honor of the internationally renowned artist Hermann Nitsch , a new museum was built in Mistelbach in the Weinviertel region in Lower Austria and opened in May 2007. The site of the former company Heger & Sohn, a former factory for agricultural equipment, was used as the site. This area was given a contemporary design, with an adaptation for a museum and event operation.
The museum center houses two museums - the nitsch museum and the museum previously known as the “Weinviertel living environment” (now MAMUZ Museum Mistelbach). In addition, the premises of the forge / chapel and a smaller exhibition hall (M-Zone) are available in the former factory area. Part of the overall conception of the museum center is the Dionysusweg, which was built and maintained by the municipality of Mistelbach and is intended to offer visitors staged nature experiences after their stay in the museums of the museum center.
The "Museum Lebenswelt Weinviertel" became the MAMUZ Museum Mistelbach
As a branch of the State Museum of Lower Austria , the MAMUZ Prehistory Museum ( M istelbach- A sparn- MU seums Z entrum) in Asparn an der Zaya has had a considerable increase in archaeological finds since 2014 thanks to the integration of the prehistoric and medieval regional collections. The museum in Mistelbach , which is located in the immediate vicinity, reinforces this competence center of prehistory as an additional location and brings added value to the exhibition space of the previous “Weinviertel living environment”. Therefore the renaming of the "Lebenswelt Weinviertel" in MAMUZ Museum Mistelbach took place.
In spring 2014 the MAMUZ Museum Mistelbach was reopened together with the MAMUZ Castle Asparn / Zaya as a center for “40,000 years of human history in Lower Austria”. The two museum locations present the state's history from the Paleolithic around 40,000 years ago to the High Middle Ages in an interactive way. In the premises of the MAMUZ Museum Mistelbach, changing exhibitions on the 40,000-year history of mankind, from the Stone Age to the early Middle Ages, are shown on around 800 m² .
The focus of the MAMUZ Museum Mistelbach is the expansion of a two-brand strategy: on the one hand, the former "Museum Lebenswelt Weinviertel" - now MAMUZ Museum Mistelbach - as a location of the expanded prehistoric center together with MAMUZ Castle Asparn / Zaya , for others the nitsch museum as a monographic museum with an independent word-image brand .
Hermann Nitsch Museum
In terms of area, the Nitsch Museum is the largest monographic museum in Austria. The extensive work of the Austrian artist Hermann Nitsch is presented on an exhibition area of around 2100 m² in a hall complex with a total length of 60 meters .
As part of a uniform overall strategy, the Hermann Nitsch Museum was taken over operationally by the Nitsch Foundation in 2012. Until July 1, 2015, the Nitsch Foundation was entrusted with all operational agendas for the presentation of the Hermann Nitsch Museum by the non-profit Mistelbacher Kunst und Betriebs GmbH (now MAMUZ Museumszentrum Betriebs GmbH). The responsibility lay in the exhibition conception and implementation, in marketing and press work as well as in the conception, advertising and handling of events at the location. With the takeover by the Nitsch Foundation, a new CI was introduced, which from now on runs the museum as the “nitsch museum”. To visualize the artistic diversity, both individual work blocks and works that belong together in terms of time and content are presented in regular alternation in the Nitsch Museum.
