Prutscher Collection.
In 2021, Beba Restelli, Italy’s leading expert in Bruno Munari, decided to donate the collection of her grandparents of over 120 German language children’s books from early 20th century Vienna to the Biblioteca Braidense.
In 2022 the Centre plans to publish the catalogue of the illustrated children’s books held by the influential Viennese architect Otto Prutscher.
