Liechtenstein Museum
Liechtenstein Museum

The Liechtenstein Museum is a private art museum in Vienna, Austria. It contains much of the art collection of its owners, the Princely Family of Liechtenstein, rulers of the principality of Liechtenstein. It includes important European works of art, forming one of the world's leading private art collections. Its highlight used to be Leonardo da Vinci's portrait of Ginevra de' Benci, which was acquired in 1967 by the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.The museum, which was originally open to the public from the early 19th century until the Anschluss of 1938, had various locations, including the Liechtenstein Garden Palace (Gartenpalais) at Fürstengasse 1 in Vienna's 9th District (Alsergrund), and the Liechtenstein City Palace (Stadtpalais) at Bankgasse 9 in Vienna's 1st District (Innere Stadt). The museum was reopened on 29 March 2004 in the Garden Palace, but after battling with low visitor numbers, it was closed for regular visiting by the public in November 2011. According to the official website of the Garden Palace, "the highlights of the princely collections can be viewed exclusively as part of an event package or a pre-booked guided tour".Objects from the collection have been sent on touring exhibitions to museums in other countries, especially the United States. In particular, displays are regularly mounted at the Kunstmuseum Liechtenstein in Vaduz, which is otherwise a gallery for a modern art collection donated to the principality of Liechtenstein by the ruling family. Other works from the collection fill the palaces and residences of the Princely Family in Liechtenstein and Austria. A catalogue of the artists (with short biographies) featured in the gallery at the time of Prince Joseph Wenzel was compiled by Vicenzo Fanti in 1767.

Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics

The Erwin Schrödinger International Institute for Mathematics and Physics (ESI) is a visitors oriented research institute in Vienna, Austria. It is located close to the city center in the remodeled historical premises of a seminary in Boltzmanngasse 9 in Vienna's ninth district. The Institute was founded upon the initiatives of Peter W. Michor and Walter Thirring and opened on 20 April 1993. It was run by the private ESI association under the auspices of the Austrian Ministry of Science until 31 December 2010. Since 1 June 2011 the ESI has been embedded into the University of Vienna. It has close connections with the Faculty of Physics and the Faculty of Mathematics of the University of Vienna.The ESI hosts high-profile thematic programs, workshops, summer and winter schools, junior and senior research fellowships, as well as a program for research in teams. The ESI publishes Scientific Reports with detailed records of activities, guests, and related preprints. In 2019, the year before the COVID-19 pandemic, the ESI recorded an all-time high of 1116 participants and 171 preprints related to its activities. The ESI is managed by the ESI Director, who is supported by two Deputy Directors and reports directly to the Rectorate of the University of Vienna. The Director and the Deputy Directors are part of the ESI Kollegium, which is composed of three professors from the Faculty of Mathematics and three from the Faculty of Physics. The Kollegium oversees the operation of the Institute and decides over proposals for potential future workshops, schools, fellowships, and research in teams at the ESI based on a peer review process and available resources. Decisions on future thematic programs at the ESI are made by a Scientific Advisory Board that is composed of six to eight international peers.The current ESI Director is Christoph Dellago; the Scientific Advisory Board is chaired by Sandra Di Rocco.As of 2020, the Institute awards the annual Medal of the Erwin Schrödinger Institute for Mathematics and Physics (or ESI Medal, for short) to celebrate recent breakthroughs in any area of mathematics or physics. The selection is made by the Scientific Advisory Board based on nominations from previous recipients of the ESI Medal, organizers of thematic programs at the ESI, former ESI Directors, former members of the ESI Scientific Advisory Board, and the president of the ESI Association. The recipients of the ESI Medal to date are Anton Alekseev (2020) Elliott Lieb (2021) Martin Hairer (2022) Isabelle Gallagher (2023)
