Urania, Cultural center and observatory in Innere Stadt, Vienna, Austria
The Urania building combines an educational institute and observatory, situated at the meeting point of the Donaukanal and River Wien.
Max Fabiani, a student of Otto Wagner, designed this Art Nouveau structure in 1909, which opened its doors to the public in 1910.
The facility maintains an active cinema that participates in the Viennale film festival and contains a memorial room dedicated to the Kindertransport rescue mission.
The center provides extensive educational programs through its community college, offering evening classes and lectures in multiple seminar rooms.
On June 8, 1928, the Urania made history by hosting the first public sound film screening in Austria.
