History
In 1908, in connection with the 60th anniversary of the accession to the Austrian throne by Franz Joseph I , it was decided to build a museum of industrial technology and crafts in Vienna. The initiators of the idea were Wilhelm Exner , impressed by the 1873 World's Fair , and the Vienna Electrotechnical Union. The project was supported by industrialists Arthur Krupp and Johann Kremenetsky, creating a special organizing committee to raise funds for the construction of the museum, as well as entrepreneur Bernhard Wetzler and the Rothschilds house . In the same year, the National Technical Museum in Prague was opened.
