30th International Museumday

Climb, look and marvel ... that is the motto for the 30th International Museum Day, which Lentos celebrates with a rich program of diverse offers and an "all-inclusive" admission price of € 5 on 20 May from 10 am to 6 pm:
Activities start at 11 am with climbing building facades in "future systems: rare moments", the workshop "when people were able to speak ..." starts at 2 pm. Sparks fly at 4 pm, when Elisabeth Nowak-Thaller guides a tour through the stunning exhibition of a "classic artist of Modernism", whose name in German quite fittingly means "sparks" - Helene Funke.

For children and young people under the age of 16 there is no charge for admission on 20 May 2007.

listen to an unusual sound concert by thirty live zebra finches.

1 pm - 2 pm: ROOM ON CHAIRS - SPINNING MONOLOGUE
In the co-project by Michael Kienzer and Carolina Caycedo, the exhibition future systems: rare moments invites all visitors to tell their own stories in a floating room.
On 20 May migrants in Linz tell their stories - come in, make yourself comfortable and listen.
This event is carried out in cooperation with maiz (Autonomous Integration Center of & for Migrant Women).

when people were able to speak …
