The mission of the TRAM project is to support cultural mobility, as well as to provide passengers with an unusual art experience enriching their journey with surprising encounters with contemporary art. At the occasion of numerous significant anniversaries in 2018, the Austrian Embassy, Austrian Cultural Forum, and Curatorial Studies Institute prepared a project establishing a cultural link between Vienna and Bratislava. The contemporary art gallery and cultural center will regularly, 11 times a day, ply as an ÖBB/ZSSK train on the route between central stations in Vienna and Bratislava. Title T.R.A.M. refers to Vienna tram (in German Pressburger Bahn), which has been connecting Vienna and Bratislava since 1914. Vienneses would travel for a cup of coffee or to the opera house to Bratislava, Bratislavans to Vienna.
