Ceremonial certificate ceremony: New museum professionals in Lower Austria!

Atzenbrugg, Österreich - On June 14th, a ceremonial ceremony took place in the Atzenbrugg seminar center, which praised two successfully completed further training courses of the Museum Management in Lower Austria. A total of nine committed graduates were honored for their exemplary achievements in museum work as well as regional and family research. Ulrike Vitovec, the managing director of the Museum Management in Lower Austria, emphasized the advantages of the modular training format, which enables the participants a flexible and individual design of their further training. This information also underlines meinzirk.at, which reports on the celebrations that highlight the importance of practical knowledge in the museum and cultural work.

The blended learning format, which cleverly linked theory and practice, has proven to be particularly attractive to volunteers and part-time people. Six participants in the "Museums work 2024/25" course now have their certificate in their pockets and are already actively involved in regional museums. The graduates include names such as Ljiljana Stojkovic from the Tulln - Römermuseum Stadtmuseum and Nina Blechinger from Eckartsau Castle. On the pulse of time, that is truly not a empty promise here!

A look at the projects

But also the graduates of the course "Regional and Family Research 2024/25" make you take notice. Your individual projects testify to a deep examination of your own history. Ilse Petermann introduced the history of her family-owned bakery, while Verena Rathhner-Böck gave an insight into the history of a house in Sitzenberg-Reidling. Andreas Tiefenthaler, on the other hand, reported on the emigration of his ancestors from Vorarlberg to Dyersville to the USA. Such projects illustrate the broad spectrum of regional historical research and the possibilities that are offered as part of these courses.

The training opportunities in the museum area are diverse and wide in Austria. In addition to selective further training courses, there are also extensive training programs that are aimed at current and future actors in the museum environment. As the Museumsbund reports, the ARGE training and further education in the museum area pursues the goal of creating a balanced relationship between theory and practice and thus reflecting the heterogeneity of the museum field.

outlook on future courses

For everyone who also wants to immerse yourself in the world of museums and regional history, there is good news: The next courses will start in September 2025. Interested parties can be registered via the website of Museums Lower Austria and received more information about the offers.
