„Jenseits des Rehkitzes – Die Ausstellung im Wien Museum MUSA gibt sich - durchaus erfolgreich - Mühe, einen einseitig markierten Autor in einer unerwarteten Fülle und Komplexität darzustellen.“
Locations are the Wien Museum MUSA (1010 Wien, Felderstraße 6–8, T: +43 (0)1 4000 85169) as well as the exhibit cabinet of the Wienbibliothek im Rathaus (1082 Wien, Rathaus, Eingang Felderstraße, T: +43 (0)1 4000 84926). The exhibit is staged in cooperation with the Wienbibliothek im Rathaus. In addition, there is the estate’s library with more than 2,300 books, among them numerous unique working and hand copies, dedications, and the collection of author’s copies of Salten’s animal books Bambi, Florian, and Perri. Along with numerous photos, personal documents, and the manuscript archive, it especially features the collection of letters with about 700 correspondence partners (including Karl Kraus, Heinrich and Thomas Mann, Berta Zuckerkandl, and Stefan Zweig). Wienbibliothek im Rathausįelix Salten’s estate in the Wienbibliothek im Rathaus allows a broad view of the life and work of this jack-of-all-trades. From 1890 until his escape to Switzerland in 1939, Salten left a major imprint on Vienna: The life, work, and vast cultural networks of this dazzling personality appear in the exhibition from a new perspective. The author experienced the end of the monarchy, the creation of Austria’s First Republic, both world wars, dictatorship, and exile. Salten’s manifold activities, including his underappreciated role as an art critic in Gustav Klimt’s circle, will be presented and contextualized through previously unpublished documents. What is largely forgotten is that the author of this book was also an important protagonist of the cultural life of Viennese modernism – an influential journalist, powerful cultural critic, founder of theater, keen experimenter, committed representative of Judaism, controversial literary figure, and comrade-in-arms of the literary network Jung-Wien around Hugo von Hofmannsthal and Arthur Schnitzler.Ĭommemorating the 75th anniversary of Salten’s death, the exhibit is based on his literary estate, recently acquired by the Wienbibliothek im Rathaus.
At the end of 1922, Felix Salten (1869–1945) published the novel Bambi, which became a global sensation.
