The last days of “The Führer’s Capital of Culture”
Copyright: Walter Frentz Collection, Berlin
More than 56,000 visitors have already viewed “The Führer’s Capital of Culture” at Linz’s Schlossmuseum. Due to continuing strong public interest in this presentation of one of the darkest chapters in the city’s history, the exhibition is being held over until March 29.
Cultural life and cultural policymaking in Linz and the work done by artists here during the time of National Socialism are the central themes of The Führer’s Capital of Culture.What impact did the Anschluss have on the everyday life of artists living in Linz? What megalomaniacal plans was Adolf Hitler making for his “home town”? What human stories and fates are concealed within the physical remnants of National Socialism that are still prominent elements of the Linz cityscape? And just how radical was the break with the past after 1945?
The Führer’s Capital of Culture offers a setting in which to confront the history and consequences of the time between 1938 and 1945.
Admission is free of charge with the Linz09 Insider and the Linz09 Card.
