As the Semmering Railway is now being renovated and includes one of Europe's largest infrastructure projects, we were asked to create a small exhibition for train enthusiasts and visitors of all ages to showcase some behind-the-scenes images, detailed engineering processes and meticulous design aspects of this UNESCO World Heritage site. In addition to the Semmering  tunnel, the entire train station was also renovated and rebuilt in accordance with monument protection laws as it houses one of Austria’s oldest train stations built by the Habsburg Empire and its train-loving Emperor Franz Joseph.  Throughout the exhibition we highlighted to what extent a UNESCO World Heritage can be combined with track and tunnel construction and the ravages of time and its impact on the region. The exhibition invites visitors to immerse themselves in fascinating technical details and opens up a new perspective on the complexity of an infrastructure project of such scale.
