ZOOM Children’s Museum was established in 1994 as Austria’s first museum for children. In 2001, ZOOM moved to its present premises at Vienna’s MuseumsQuartier, making ZOOM not only a focal point of children’s culture in Vienna but also part of one of the world’s largest cultural complexes. ZOOM is an independent institution, unaffiliated to other museums in terms of its structure or thematic focus. Its unique location at the heart of an exceptional cultural district has had a major influence on ZOOM’s orientation: More oriented towards the arts than many other children’s museums, ZOOM has become a centre of interaction between children and artists. Artists from a number of different disciplines work with the children on topics relating to science, everyday culture, sociology, philosophy and, of course, the arts. Artists and scientists collaborate in the development of the programmes offered by ZOOM. And it is visual artists and committed young architects who create a large part of ZOOM’s objects and installations. Experts of the senses, they manage to keep surprising us with original and playful ideas.
