The decision on the reopening of culture was announced by the federal government after the Council of Ministers: according to this, museums, libraries, libraries and archives can be reopened as of December 7, of course, subject to security measures necessary.
Johanna Rachinger, general director of the National Library, and Peter Aufreiter, director of the Technical Museum, currently spokesman for the Federal Conference of Museum Directors, were satisfied with the decision in their first statements to the KURIER. “I hope that’s it with multi-lock and unlock,” says Aufreiter.
Klaus Albrecht Schröder, director of Albertina, welcomes the decision of the federal government and feels “confirmed with regard to the safety assessment in museums”. In an interview with KURIER in August, he suggested keeping museums open and avoiding theatrical premieres.
Schröder feels confirmed
Schröder literally: “On the one hand, there are many museums that have to cope with a manageable number of visitors in thousands of square meters and can therefore guarantee the necessary hygienic distance. On the other hand, large modern museums are equipped air-conditioned, which have air exchange capabilities that are generally not available in closed event rooms for theaters or cabarets. The decision to open museums is therefore the right one, and I am happy about it as there are so many people who can Culture is very absent in these days and times. “
La Albertina will open both locations on Monday, December 7. “Before that, we would like to invite you to a press conference and a visit to our new exhibition at Albertina Modern on Friday, December 4: The Essl Collection.”
Cinemas must continue to broadcast
For theaters and opera houses, concert halls, cinemas and cabaret stages, on the other hand, it means waiting. They must be closed through New Years Eve, at least until January 7. The next calendar will be announced in mid-December in order to give these cultural institutions at least some time to start up and / or a planning opportunity. A 50 percent revenue replacement was announced for December.
The decision was awaited by Christian Kircher, the head of the Bundestheater-Holding, among others. In the past, however, theater directors repeatedly noted that there were no detectable infections in the audience during performances. Therefore, he is disappointed with the decision of the federal government; I also heard the phrase “It’s a mess!”
New year concert
Which means the decision for the New Year’s concert is still open. The Vienna Philharmonic wanted to withdraw for deliberations on Wednesday afternoon. The concert is supposed to take place, without an audience, but broadcast around the world.
Kogler and Mayer statements
Vice Chancellor Werner Kogler (Greens) repeatedly regretted the extension of the closing time at the press conference. But at least as of December 7, along with museums, galleries and bookstores would reopen, precisely because they are part of the trade. And the Secretary of State for Culture, Andrea Mayer, published a statement: “I am very happy that the opening of museums, libraries and libraries The archive is possible again under certain security precautions.” The epidemiological situation continues to be “worrying”: “Therefore, cultural events with the public are not possible. I am very sorry, but unfortunately they are still necessary measures.”
Separation of theaters from brothels
The criticisms of cultural workers are rumored to have paid off: in the regulation now being approved, there will be a separation between cultural and leisure facilities. Therefore, theaters are no longer grouped in the same container as Laufhäuser …
