City and Nature in Dialogue

Wien Museum

1040 Vienna, Karlsplatz 8

From the first settlements in the area that became Vienna, locals have altered their natural environment. They cleared forests, sowed crops, and regulated rivers. Learn more about Vienna’s relationship to its natural setting and explore how the city’s ecological history can inform our thinking about today’s climate crisis.
