New Vienna museum helps Austrians embrace The Sound of Music
Original: ‘A joyful place’: a new museum coaxes Austrians to embrace The Sound of Music
A new museum in Austria is inviting locals to reconnect with The Sound of Music, the 1965 musical filmed in Salzburg that long met with ambivalence at home even as it became a global favourite. Described by its organisers as a joyful place, the institution celebrates the film's locations, music and history while gently challenging the Austrian reluctance to embrace a Hollywood image of their country.
Why now: Austrians have historically distanced themselves from the film's sentimental portrayal, so a museum dedicated to it sparks curiosity and debate.
