About the film ARCHIVE OF THE FUTURE: A cinematic tour of one of the world’s largest, most beautiful and important museums.
This enchanting documentary takes us inside one of the world’s largest natural history museums.
The Naturhistorisches Museum in Vienna is not only an extraordinarily beautiful museum building full of rare animals and remarkable creatures, it is also a unique research institution that produces knowledge in a wide range of fields.
In ARCHIVE OF THE FUTURE we meet some of the museum’s many employees, and follow the daily work of mounting dinosaur skeletons, cataloging butterflies and other small and large tasks that help to influence how we relate to nature. Over 200 years, the museum’s remarkable collection has increased in size and diversity, and today no one has a complete and complete overview of what is hidden in its drawers and cabinets. This is one of the keys to the museum’s social benefit – because if history has taught us one thing, it is that no one can predict what kind of knowledge will be useful tomorrow.
ARCHIVE OF THE FUTURE is a fascinating film about knowledge, communication and the museum’s place in society throughout history.
Director: Joerg Burger (Austria). Original title: Archiv der Zukunft.
