Exploring the Invisible
Family
What does a virus do in the museum? Hygiene technology and bacteriology have been an important part of the medical engineering collection of the Technisches Museum Wien (Vienna Museum of Science and Technology) for a long time. Since the beginning of the coronavirus pandemic, there has been increased public focus on microorganisms, showing that the history of microbes needs to be rethought.
The permanent exhibition explores the question of how we humans have responded to the discovery of microorganisms that populate not only our whole world, but also our own bodies. The realisation that microbes can have both deadly and beneficial effects has sparked extensive research activity, which, then as now, is strongly influenced by medical technology developments. The new exhibition area also addresses the fact that some of the reactions to this discovery go far into the realm of superstition.
