The “NARRENTURM” was built in 1784 by Isidore Canevale under the emperor Josef II, son of Maria-Theresia. The building, called “GUGELHUPF” by the Viennese people after a popular cake, served as a place for the mentally diseased until 1866. It now houses the largest collection worldwide of pathological-anatomical preparations. The Vernissage will provide the opportunity to visit this remarkable architectural landmark and to enjoy a light and sound installation especially set up for FENS.
