The connection to one's own neighborhood is part of the sense of life in a big city. It is therefore only logical that each district has its own museum—each with its own distinct character. This book introduces the treasures of these institutions: large and small, splendid and modest, very old and nearly new objects tell stories of historical events, but above all of everyday life among the city's inhabitants. How did people live in Vienna in the past? And what did the city look like? Many of the answers can be found in this book—and even more on site in the 23 borough museums.
