Find of the Month for November from the Kreisky Archive

Anlässlich der Eröffnung der Ausstellung „HIER KREISKY!“ im Bruno Kreisky Forum für internationalen Dialog präsentiert das Kreisky Archive das Telefon aus dem Wohnzimmer Bruno Kreiskys.
On 12 November, a permanent exhibition will open at Bruno Kreisky’s former home at Armbrustergasse 15 in the 19th district – now the headquarters of the Bruno Kreisky Forum for International Dialogue – whose title refers to the Chancellor’s passionate love of telephoning. „HIER KREISKY!“ traces Bruno Kreisky’s political career and life alongside the political changes and developments in Austria during the 20th century. This is achieved through thematically organised exhibition panels and audio stations featuring excerpts from historical TV and radio programmes. The exhibition also features Bruno Kreisky’s legendary telephone from Sweden. It was long thought to be lost and only entered the archive in 2020 via the estate of Bruno Kreisky’s son, Peter.

Telephone, 10 x 21 cm, Peter Kreisky Collection, reference number G 172
