Museums
Sustainable museums with the Austrian Ecolabel are focussing on sustainability, ecology, conscious use of resources and socio-political responsibility in their daily mangement as well as in the planning of their exhibitions.
In focus: Guidelines in concrete terms - cultural institutions
Originally conceived as a certification for hotels, the UZ 200 guideline has also opened up to culture in recent years. After museums, other actors are also interested in credibly demonstrating their efforts in the field of sustainability. Theatres and cinemas are particularly committed to this and so in the future it will also be possible for them to receive an award for their sustainable orientation.
Three federal museums awarded as Green Museums
The Natural History Museum Vienna, the Austrian National Library and the Museum of Applied Arts (MAK) were honoured by Climate Protection Minister Leonore Gewessler and State Secretary for the Arts and Culture Andrea Mayer for their sustainable corporate governance and ecological positioning.
The Austrian National Library: A "bridge" between past and future
Museums, archives and libraries see themselves as bridges between the past and the present - with perspectives on the future for which they provide important impulses. In order to make this concern visible to the outside world, there is the Austrian Ecolabel. That is why the Austrian National Library in Vienna also applied for the state seal of quality.
