Dear all,
I am writing you to bring your attention to the dramatic situation of the anthropological museum "Weltmuseum Wien" which is in danger of suffering severe budget cuts.
To show a sign of strength from scientific institutions and the public, there is an online petition going on at the moment, in which the Austrian minister Ostermayer is requested to revise this serious decision.
I hope that you can support in signing and spreading this petition through social media, newsletters or the like.
Federal Minister Dr. Josef Ostermayer: Revise the decision regarding the Weltmuseum Wien!
https://secure.avaaz.org/de/petition/Kulturminister_Dr_Josef_Ostermayer_Wir_ersuchen_Sie_die_Verkleinerung_des_Weltmuseums_zu_revidieren/
"We request federal minister Dr. Josef Ostermayer to revise his decision of reducing the exhibition spaces of the Weltmuseum Vienna! After fourteen years of closure of its permanent collections, the realisation of the present concept of renovation is mandatory for that museum in order to reopen as lively and international cultural centre."
Thanks,
Andreas
