Politics loves Art
Politicians talk about their favourite works from the Lentos Collection.
A project for Linz 2009 European Capital of Culture
Politicians have been invited to choose a favourite work from the Collection of the Lentos Art Museum and talk about it in public.
Together with Martin Heller, director of Linz 2009 European Capital of Culture, and art scholars, politicians will discuss what is so particularly attractive about this work and where the subjective value of art lies. This is ultimately about a sense of connection in everyday life - for the individual and for society.
A discussion series in the Lentos Art Museum Linz.
Thursdays from 6:15 to 7:30 pm, special admission 6:00 to 9:00 pm: EUR 4,- (incl. museum admission)
