Summary
The award-winning American filmmaker Wes Andersen and his wife, the famous costume designer Juman Malouf, present their favourite pieces from the collections of the Kunsthistorisches Museum in Vienna. They chose their selection from more than four million objects, both on public display and tucked away in the museum's labyrinthine storage rooms, within the space of two years. The curators have ended up showing around 400 works, many of which have never been displayed in public before, in an elaborate installation, ordered according to their own unique system. Their first exhibition as curators contains works from the Academy of Fine Arts, the Egyptian-Oriental Collection, the Collection of Old Musical Instruments, the Coin Cabinet, the Kaiserliche Wagenburg, the Weltmuseum, the Theater Museum, the National Library, pieces from Ambras Castle and objects from the Natural History Museum. In the catalogue they explain their concept and introduce their whole exhibition in installation and work photographs.
