What Remains: Works from the City of Innsbruck’s Art Collection

Why does the City of Innsbruck collect art?

The City of Innsbruck possesses an extensive collection of artworks which, apart from the exhibits in the Innsbruck City Archives/City Museum, are distributed across various departments, offices and storage facilities. This exhibition offers the first-ever overview of the collection.

The title ‘What Remains’ hints at the exhibition’s focal points and highlights, whilst also revealing the reasons behind the collection. The following themes have been chosen to structure the exhibition: Innsbruck in Paintings, Innsbruck Figures, The Unexpected, From Egger-Lienz to Hinterhuber, and a Focus on Contemporary Art.
