The Vienna International Postage Stamp Exhibition (WIPA) is a major philatelic event in Vienna that has taken place five times to date. The first WIPA in 1933 was organized by Edwin Müller, one of Austria's most important philatelists. After that it was held in 1965, 1981, 2000 and 2008. The WIPA 2000 was marked by the death of Friedensreich Hundertwasser, who also designed many stamps. The last WIPA took place from September 18th to 21st, 2008.
