UX VIENNA visits the Neuraths at the Wien Museum 🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️🧍‍♀️🧍🧍🧍🧍‍♂️🧍‍♂️

Saturday, January 31, 2026 at 2 PM – Wien Museum, entrance

Please register at meetup.com/UXvienna.

If you work in UX, product, service, or information design; data visualization; or user research — or if you simply care about how design shapes understanding — then this event is for you!

100 years ago in Vienna, Marie and Otto Neurath, along with Gerd Arntz, created the International System of Typographic Picture Education (ISOTYPE), a design system that transforms data into understanding. This was long before UX even existed.

👉 Join us on Saturday, January 31, 2026 at 2 PM
for a group visit to the Neurath exhibition, “Knowledge for All”, at the Wien Museum.

We’ll walk through the exhibition together, after which we’ll have drinks and discuss one central question:

What does it mean to design like this — today?

We’ll connect their ideas to today’s UX practices:

  • How do we design for clarity and accessibility at scale?
  • How do diverse roles align around one shared model of meaning?
  • And, most fascinatingly, how would the Neuraths approach our challenges now?
