Viennese dialect 101: “Gemma” means “Let’s go”. As part
Viennese dialect 101: “Gemma” means “Let’s go”. As part of the ongoing 125 year anniversary celebrations of the Art History Museum in Vienna (Kunsthistorisches Museum), this coming Sunday will be an extravaganza of different tours offering fresh and exciting perspectives on the collection that originally stems from the Habsburgs. You can find the full programme online here (only seems to be in German though, sorry). But here’s the quickest of overviews of some of the more quirky, exciting or mysterious sounding of the 45 tours and programme points on offer at no extra cost to those who have already paid the entrance fee, member of ICOM, Museumsbund, under 19s, etc. 11am & 4pmGemeinsam anders sehen. “Seeing differently together” Barrier-free museum education and programmingDurch Mark und Bein. Horror in art. 12pmUps! Ausrutscher in der Kunst. Oops! Gaffes in art1pmSex & Crime. Aufreger in der Kunst. Art that shocks. Title is in English, because it universally accepted to be a sexy/shocking language! 3pmVon Amazonen und anderen starken Frauen in der Antike. Of Amazons and other strong women in antiquity. 5pmGroßes Kino. Cinematic moments in old art. Monster überall. Monsters everywhere. Family tour. 1pm, 3pm, 5pmKunst trifft Drag Queen. Art meets drag queen. “Same sex love, transvestitism and intersex people - these ‘modern’ themes are not what you might necessarily expect in a traditional painting gallery. Teife Kümmernis - drag queen and art educator - is here to show you otherwise. Fun, but anchored in art history, you’re invited to come and change your perspective.”Photo from the KHM Newsletter. I hope to make it to the museum on Sunday to catch a tour or two. I expect there’ll be tweets if I do! -- source link
