Our collections are being relocated
2025 is an important year for the Austrian Film Museum: we are moving into a brand-new collection building at the Arsenal in Vienna's 3rd district, which includes the most modern film storage facility in Austria and new workplaces for our film research. The Filmmuseum LAB will enable us to create optimal conditions for the maintenance of our collections.
This means that we are faced with the logistical challenge of moving all of our collection items – including around 38,000 films – as well as equipment, furniture and more than a dozen employees from the old location in the 19th district to the new one.
During this process it is not possible to access the film collection as usual. To manage this relocation as smoothly as possible, it is necessary to restrict access to the film collection until further notice. Enquiries to our colleagues from the film collection will also not be answered from the beginning of February until the end of April 2025.
Of course, our screenings at the "Invisible Cinema" will not be affected and will take place as usual.
We will endeavor to restore the usual processes as quickly as possible. Thank you for your understanding!
