The Josephinum is largely financed from the budget of the Medical University of Vienna. Additional funds are needed to enable the necessary measures to preserve the collections.
Sponsorships
We have also established a sponsorship program for the anatomical wax models. The collection of anatomical wax models in the Josephinum is a single great work of art. The wax objects are suffering at the hands of ageing processes, mechanical stresses and climactic conditions. The only remedies are careful restoration work along with continuous care, conservation and improvement of the environmental conditions.
By taking on a sponsorship, you are supporting us to preserve and research this cultural heritage and make it accessible in an appropriate way for both science and the general public.
Forms of sponsorships
Wax model sponsorships
Starting from a donation of 700 euros, a sponsorship for a wax model can be taken over. The contribution is open upwards and depends on the size and restoration needs of the objects.
Book sponsorships
A book sponsorship begins with a donation of 500 euros. The contribution is also open upwards and depends on the size and restoration needs of the objects.
Sponsors receive a certificate with the name and an illustration of the object they are supporting.
In addition, sponsors’ names are published on the Josephinum website and in the entrance area of the museum. We are happy to take your personal preferences into account when choosing the object, and can offer suitable suggestions.
If you are interested in a sponsorship, please contact: dominika.flomyn@meduniwien.ac.at or +41 1 40160 26051.
