- Title
Kriege gehören ins Museum! Aber wie?.
- Authors

- Abstract
The anthology "Wars belong in the museum! But how?" by Elena Messner and Peter Pirker criticizes the Museum of Military History (HGM) in Vienna and makes suggestions for a new orientation. The contributions demand a multiperspective representation in the exhibitions, which also include voices of other genders, social classes, and ethnic backgrounds. The permanent exhibition on National Socialism is particularly criticized for concealing Austria's involvement in the crimes of National Socialism. The anthology also addresses the HGM's proximity to right-wing extremist movements and the sale of weapon parts from the museum. Constructive suggestions are made for a realignment of the museum.
