I think the message is referring to the Video/Virtual Tour of the First World War exhibition that will re-launch on the website on that day. I visited the museum last Thursday, 19/04/2018, and I can assure you that the whole WW1 section was open and accessible. It was one of the best First World War exhibitions I've visited - and I've visited quite a few. Definitely drop in if you're in Vienna.
