Once again the Az W is participating in the ORF nationwide event for museums, The Long Night of Museums. Night owls with an interest in architecture will not be disappointed this year, either!

The format of the Living Archive allows visitors to glance behind the scenes of collection work while also providing insights into the cosmopolitan life and oeuvre of Carl Auböck.
