The collection is the heart and the soul of our museum. The basic idea underpinning this presentation of the museum’s collection is restoring the chronological sequence of works, which will allow visitors to get to know the most important movements and styles of art history from the 19th century to the present in the original. In addition to this, we are putting the focus on artists who have a special relationship with Linz and the Lentos, such as VALIE EXPORT and Herbert Bayer.

What is it that motivates girls nowadays and what role models have been handed down to us from the past? Contemporary art often deals with images of girls in socially motivated contexts: coming of age, self-improvement trends – often in interaction with social media – fluid genders, issues surrounding diversity, interculturalism and inclusion.
