By illuminating their buildings with the colors of the Ukrainian flag, the cities show their solidarity with the people affected by the war. The AEC posted a video on Monday evening showing the museum building being bathed in blue and yellow light against the night sky. Previously, the message “Stop war!” (Stop the War) has been projected. The colors of Ukraine could also be seen on the other side of the Danube at the Linz Castle Museum.
