Anton Bruckner is not just a local phenomenon in Upper-Austria. He is a world-renowned and recognised "great" as a musician. Who was this man, in whose honour an entire year has been declared the year of Bruckner in Linz and Upper-Austria 200 years after his birth?

The exhibition embarks on a journey into Bruckner's past, exploring the set pieces that remain or have emerged over time and placing them in new contexts. We encounter an introverted nerd somewhere between provincial dust and the big city, an unrecognised genius searching for love. The life and work of the musical genius are both illuminated and critically questioned from today's point of view. Views, original artifacts and documents, and contemporary visualisations shed new light on a great musician. In six themed rooms, the story of Bruckner is retold and made tangible.

A project of the Nordico City Museum in cooperation with the Upper Austrian KulturEXPO Anton Bruckner 2024
