lentos kunstmuseum (museum of modern art linz)

It's an art museum...If you like modern contemporary art you may find this interesting...If like me you don't then this may not be your cup of tea. The building itself is very striking architecturally, particularly at night. Nice setting too just by the mighty Danube. There is a decent cafe on the ground floor to add. Personally that would be enough to see if your not into the whole art thing....otherwise you will be spending your time here looking at lots of pictures of Naked Men or other forms of modernist expressionism. ..meh

This fabulous building which house the Museum of Modern Art, is lit up at night. On the other side of the river to the main town it vies for attention at night.

The building itself is unique as it is nestled among some of the original houses of Urfahr (the other side of the Danube) overlooking the not so blue but rather brown Donau. The exhibits within the structure are very unique, one of a kind experience which will make u think outside of the box. Each floor offered a different exhibition some whereby u can participate or even create a craft, others are visual, and some just make your mind spin because of the statement posted. In my opinion this "museum" is more geared toward adults and not children, even though some of the exhibits are childish. Everything is translated into English and the guides are very helpful as well. Duration can be anywhere from 1/2 hour (you hate it) to all day long. Worth visiting.

Explored this museum during riverboat cruise stop. Main exhibits on upper level; lower level more like amateur artwork. Mosbacher was very interesting. Rented the headset for more detailed commentary re left side of museum artworks/portraits/sculpture; also used portable seat. Wish headset info had included commentary re Mosbacher, et al exhibits on right side of museum!

This gallery does not meet up to it's own, and others ' advertising. The blurbs we had read and the vids one can see of the Lentos illuminated at night led us to have high expectations. Unfortunately the gallery is well below expectations. The building inside is a concrete warehouse, dull , bland ,unstimulating and a very poor venue for art. The works are a disappointment. One Klimt and a couple of Schieles does not a gallery make. The exhibition is poorly curated and not well presented. A very dull experience which nowhere near matches its own hype.

The museum seems smaller inside than it appears from the outside. They have some interesting exhibitions. Many of the exhibits in the permanent collection are worth seeing. The cafe is a perfect setting in which to enjoy a reverside glass of wine on a summer evening.

I went in because I had a Linz City card, otherwise I don't think the 8€ admissions fee is necessarily worth it. The exhibit is relatively small, but there are some interesting works on display, and the building itself is cool, but I wouldn't call it a must do unless you are passionate about modern art. It's no MOMA or Pompidou Center.

I really appreciated the quality of the architectural intervention.if you are interested in a calibrated and significant contemporary architectural work you shouldn't miss this.nice collection inside, worth a visit. the entry fee is levelled with the european admission prices: quite high, honestly.

I went to look at the exhibit celebrating 10th years of the museum..I did expect somethin great but it was a bare thing frankly missable..

I spent a very fun time in this museum. Go and see the temporary exhibition before is over. I laugh a lot here. For me this unusual exhibition about the naked man was awesome.

Enjoyed some of UK compatriot Sean Scully's Exhibition during Ars Electronica -love his remark "colour is emotional weather". Also Die Sammlung -111 years- enabled some kokoshka etc . Loos and Lockers in basement and could pay in GBP credit card. Crazy building- just over the river from Hitler's Nibelungen Bridge- not sure if this or Ars Electronica change colour at night- we were never out that late.

The Lentos museum is remarkable not only for its location, right on the Danube river-side, not only for its building, a modern and interesting construction, but indeed for its collection and temporary exhibitions.The museum exhibits mainly mittel-European pieces of art, ranging from 1820 to date. For me it would have been enough just the opera of the early Klimt or of Franz Sedlacek, to make the travel worth (which from Munich is not so long, by the way ;-)Besides, the museums fits perfectly the city of Linz, capable of matching an historical center with a definitely interesting set of modern and contemporary art museums, not to mention the "Triennale Linz" which makes the city one of the (if not The) most important center in Austria for contemporary art (uhm ... maybe the offer of Wien is unreachable, but a real comparison is unfair, due to the different sizes of the two cities ...).Anyway, if you're travelling across central Europe and you're curious of modern/contemporary art, the Lentos Museum is definitely a place not to miss (together with the city of Linz ---> go and see the city from the above at the Pöstlingberg hill, really worth).

Modern at daytime, sophisticated brillant blue at night. That's how Lentos is, right side to side to Danube river.It was one of our first views when we arrive at the Danube. On the Nibelüngen Brucke (bridge over the Danube river), with that amazing brillant kind of blue reflecting on the Danube waters. Just great.We didn't visit inside where the modern art expositions are, only took a pick at the museum store. There wasn't too much time to visits.

I have been into the Museum once. It was approx 6 euros per adult or 13 for a family ticket. The Museum is unusual inside. Very open with almost a feel of being unfinshed.However, Last year, Lentos opened a cafe/restaurant. As the restaurant is situated right on the banks of the Danube it is a perfect location. In the summer, the terrace is heaving with people. It is a good idea to reserve a table. The breakfasts are outstanding value, served til 2pm and delicious!

Wechselnde Ausstellungen von hoher Qualität . In der letzte Ausstellung "Reines Wasser war ich 3 x. Bei jedem Besuch hatte ich neue Eindrücke. Ein Besuch ist empfehlenswert.
