The Ars Electronica Center on the north bank of the Danube in Linz is the Museum of the Future, focused on art, technology, and society. The Deep Space 8K projection room is the signature installation; check the event program before visiting for the best shows. The building’s LED facade is one of Linz’s night landmarks. Adults around EUR 13-15; open Tuesday to Sunday. The Center is the year-round presence of the annual Ars Electronica Festival, which since 1979 has made Linz a significant destination on the international media art circuit. Linz is 1.5 hours from Vienna and 1 hour from Salzburg by train. Combine with the Lentos contemporary art museum directly across the Danube.

Ars Electronica Center
The Ars Electronica Center calls itself the Museum of the Future, which is accurate enough: it focuses on the intersection of art, technology, and society through hands-on exhibits, including the Deep Space 8K projection room where high-resolution imagery covers floor and walls simultaneously.
