Women of the 1920s and Their Fashion - Special Exhibition 2026
Info
TOURDATA
In der Brühl 13, 3970 Weitra
Opening on April 30, 2026, at 6 PM
WOMEN OF THE 1920s AND THEIR FASHION
This exhibition highlights the profound societal changes of the 1920s from the perspective of women – told through their clothing. After World War I, the role of women changed dramatically: political participation, professional activities, and a new body consciousness also influenced their outward appearance. The fashion of this era is an expression of new beginnings, emancipation, and cultural rebellion.
The aim is to immerse you in the spirit of the 1920s through original garments, textile objects, photographs, films, historical documents, modern art, and interactive stations – with a special focus on the role of the textile industry and the daily working life of women in factories like the one in Weitra.
The Museum Alte Textilfabrik has been awarded the Austrian Museum Quality Seal!
The special exhibition can be visited in addition to the permanent exhibition WORKING AND LIVING ENVIRONMENTS OF THE TEXTILE INDUSTRY at the Museum Alte Textilfabrik, with or without a guided tour. Both exhibitions are wonderfully suited for young visitors (school classes, children's groups), families, seniors, and travel groups.
Would you like to visit us outside of opening hours for tours and viewings? We are happy to accommodate you from May to October by appointment for groups of 4 or more.
Workshops in the museum are also available for booking.
Guided tours in English are possible!

Planning takes too much time
Ich finde nichts passendes
Ich kann mich nicht entscheiden
Ich plane zu spontan
Ich bin mir nicht sicher, ob es sich lohnt
Abstimmung mit anderen ist zu mühsam
Ich vergesse gute Ideen wieder
Ich habe niemanden, der mitkommen möchte
Too expensive
Ich finde eigentlich immer etwas
Something else
