At the Forum Kunst contemporary in the former Millstatt Abbey, I came across an exhibition of works created by Deborah Sengl.

Exhibition of historic facade signs in Vienna
Stadtschrift, an association for the collection, preservation and documentation of historic facade signs created this open air exhibition at a fire wall in Vienna. I love the idea to show them in public instead of a presentation inside a hall. So we can see these signs in a way we used to do on our walks to school or job in earlier times.

In an exhibition at Stift Geras (Geras Abbey), I saw this steam-powered fire pump dating back to 1911. The fire brigade of the Austrian city of Horn used it many years ago.
