The poems of Georg Trakl are among the most striking texts of literary modernism. During his lifetime (1887 to 1914) the poet was little known; after his early death his work became highly influential. Today Trakl is regarded worldwide as one of the most important German-language poets.
Exhibition
The permanent exhibition Zu Hause bei den Trakls gives an insight into the former family flat in the birthplace on the Waagplatz. On show are documents and objects on the life and work of Georg Trakl, a slide presentation with sound and a room with original furniture and household items belonging to the family. In the middle of the bustle of the old town, the house is quiet enough to look at the exhibits at leisure and to read texts by Trakl.
Programme and events
There are private guided tours with different thematic emphases, reading workshops and tailored programmes for school classes and students. There is also a programme of literary and academic events around Georg Trakl, with the state of research, new readings and room for conversation about literature.
Research
The holdings of the museum, the archive and the research library can be used on site for academic, curatorial and artistic projects. Workspaces are available after registering in advance.
