Linz has transformed from industrial city to cultural hub, with the Brucknerhaus anchoring a diverse venue scene. The city's Ars Electronica heritage influences contemporary programming.
Linz's Brucknerhaus seats 1,400 on the Danube in Upper Austria's capital of 210,000. The Posthof (850) and Tabakfabrik cultural centre anchor alternative programming while the Ars Electronica Festival puts Linz on the digital arts map. The industrial city's cultural ambitions punch above its weight.
