Alma Wittlin

Alma Stephanie Wittlin, Alma S. Wittlin, (March 23, 1899 Lemberg – December 31, 1992 Palo Alto) was an Austrian writer. Her surname also appears as Wittlin-Frischauer.[1]

Life

Born in or near Lviv, Austro-Hungarian Empire, she was educated in Vienna, receiving a doctorate in art history from the University of Vienna in 1925, and came to England in 1937. She carried out educational research at the Museum of Archaeology and Anthropology, University of Cambridge. In 1952, she came to the United States and was naturalized in 1959.[2][3]

In 1921, she married Paul Max Frischauer.[4]

While in Austria, she wrote a number of successful historical novels.[3]

Wittlin called for museums to take their role as educational institutions more seriously.[2]

She died in Palo Alto, California.[3]

An annual lecture given in her honour is sponsored by the International Council of Museums.[5]
