The “Moreno Museum Association” was founded in Vienna on April 24th, 2014. The main objective betrays a more ambitious project, governed by the idea that the house in Bad Vöslau can and must become, as Pierre Fontaine wrote, "an interactive living museum": a window on the Austrian years, which saw Moreno committed as a poet, writer, editor and creator of the Theatre of Spontaneity. In addition a world archive of documents, which may collect study contributions donated in the form of books, studies, documents, objects, memories of J.L. Moreno, as well as materials from scholars who came after him; with the idea to be shared by all the psychodramatists around the world. A library and international centre for theory, research and experimentation in the field of Sociatry and Psychodrama in all its forms and languages, as well as a permanent centre of education and culture, open to conferences, congresses, symposia, workshops, open sessions and to all suggestions hatched by the magic of the encounter.
The founding members of the Association are from different countries and were already involved in some cases in the project team. The board members come from Italy and Austria and were chosen by the General Assembly for their commitment and their witness, and the honorary members are true milestones in the ways that have traced the history of psychodrama.
