The Linz Castle Museum is being restructured in several areas. In the past few months, three white cubes were built at a cost of two million euros. These are modern exhibition rooms that are equipped with air conditioning technology so that sensitive works and loans can now also be shown. The show “Vienna – Linz around 1900” can be seen in one of these rooms from March 28th.
Archeology show will be free
The arcade courtyard of the castle is also being renovated this year. The windows that were installed decades ago will cost 770,000 euros to be removed. “In this way we are restoring the original state,” said the commercial director of Landes-Kultur GmbH Manfred Mandl-Kiblböck at yesterday’s annual preview. The new permanent exhibition for the area of archeology and early history will be created in the rooms behind it. “It will have its own entrance and will be free to visit,” says scientific director Alfred Weidinger. The area will be doubled to 1200 square meters. The new archeology show is scheduled to open at the end of the year. Could other areas become free? “We’ll look at how it works in archeology,” says Weidinger. The natural science collection will also be reorganized over the next two years: it will be expanded to include an area that was previously reserved for special exhibitions.
