Heinrich Steinfest, In the slaughterhouse, 1956

There is hardly a better place to tell meat’s story than Vienna. Even in the Middle Ages, more meat was eaten here than anywhere else, a reflection of the city’s role as a hub of the cattle trade.  By the 19th century, Vienna sported the enormous slaughterhouses of St. Marx along with a seemingly infinite number of butchers' shops. At the same time, Vienna was an early stronghold of animal protection as well as a center of vegetarianism. All the while, meat denoted social difference.

The exhibition traces the history of Viennese meat from the stable to the plate and beyond, reports on vanished professions and dishes and sheds light on advertising and gender roles. It links the past with the challenges of the present and poses the question: What will happen to meat-eating in the future?
