Ars Electronica Center (Linz)

About this place

Futuristic museum of art, technology and society in Linz. Interactive exhibitions, laboratories and unique architecture on the banks of the Danube.

The Ars Electronica Center in Linz is a world-renowned museum focused on the intersection of art, technology and society. Its roots date back to 1979, when the Ars Electronica festival was founded, and the center itself opened in 1996. Since then, it has become one of the most important venues for digital art and innovation in Europe. The building with its unique LED facade on the banks of the Danube is an unmistakable landmark of the city.

Inside, visitors can explore interactive exhibitions covering topics such as artificial intelligence, robotics, genetic engineering, and space. Highlights include Deep Space 8K, a projection room with 8K resolution that showcases breathtaking 3D visualizations. On the ground floor, you'll find Futurelab, a research laboratory where new ideas are born. The museum is suitable for the whole family, with many installations being playful and educational.

For Czech tourists, Linz is easily accessible – it lies only about 60 km from the Czech border, and the drive from České Budějovice takes approximately 1.5 hours. The center is open Tuesday to Sunday, closed on Mondays. We recommend purchasing tickets online to avoid queues. Family tickets and student discounts are available. There is also a café with a view of the Danube inside the building, where you can relax and absorb the impressions of your visit.
