Schaudepot der Museen der Stadt Linz

Peter-Behrens-Platz 3, Magazin, 1. Stock, 4020 Linz
The showcase depot offers a glimpse behind the scenes of museum work. With around 550 exhibits, the depot located along the "Behrens-Band" in the tobacco factory in Linz provides an exemplary insight into the collections of the museums in the city of Linz. Exhibits from art, crafts, everyday life, craftsmanship, and industry are presented kaleidoscopically over 360 square meters in the architecturally significant Behrensbau, where cigarettes were still produced until 2009. The multitude of objects creates a fascinating attic effect, reflecting the serial character of the approximately 120,000 objects that make up the cultural and urban historical collection of the Nordico City Museum. Objects and artworks related to the tobacco factory serve as a connecting thread. The industrial and contemporary history of the tobacco factory is particularly relevant to the city. In line with the general development of Linz, the cigarette factory transitioned from a central industrial site to a workplace for art, culture, the creative economy, and digitalization. A depot is a memory storage that carries the myth of the hidden and promises the discovery of treasures. However, it is also a workspace that is constantly being expanded, from which objects for exhibitions are drawn. Thus, the depot is not just an "altar of the past": its opening has the potential to engage with current developments.
