At the Natural History Museum in Vienna, everything that is found on earth, in outer space, and that humans can get their hands on, is collected, archived, and studied in the name of evolutionary research. Archive of the Future captures the aesthetic appeal of the natural-history collection and its working process, illuminating the mammoth project of knowledge preservation and production hidden behind the building’s imperial façade.
