VLAD TZEPES DRACULA

Truth and Legend
In the very beginning stands the most famous representative of his race: Dracula. This mysterious count, stylized into a vampire by the rampant imaginations of the 19th century, actually had a very real ancestor: a certain Count Vlad, also known as Tzepes "the stakedriver", ruled in Transylvania in the 15th century. His regime was bloody and brutal, and during his lifetime horrible legends arose. The differences between truth and legend, along with those between kitsch and popularization, are still very unclear in regards to Dracula.

The Vienna Vampire Museum is the first of its kind anywhere. Countless objects and documents have been brought together here with the aim of illuminating the myth of 'the bloodthirsty undead'. Six installations offer a fascinating look into the ancient legends of the vampires, as well as their appearances in both high art and popular culture.
