Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Building on PS 3/4 (WS 09/10) `Die Weltreise des Erzherzogs Franz Ferd.v.Österreich-Este 1892/93 - Reiseimpressionen in Fotografie und Porträtkunst`; this practical course is preparing the exhibition at the Museum of Ethnology (from 8/7/2010 onwards) of the same title:

On his journey around the world in 1892-1893, Archduke Franz Ferdinand visited many places. Included among these were India and Ceylon. From tiger hunts to court ceremony, Franz Ferdinand's adventures were documented by well-known photographers such as Eduard Hodek from Vienna or Indian Lala Deen Dayal.

80 historical photographs as well as miniatures on ivory and paper selected from the Archduke's enormous `Souvenir Collection` have been brought together for the first time for an exhibition in the Museum of Ethnology.

Besides composing the material accompanying the exhibition the course will focus on catalogue production, the preparation of exhibition design and general questions of the set-up.

The exhibition is the result of a cooperation between the Department of Art History of the University of Vienna and the Museum of Ethnology.
