Schlossmuseum Linz

I had the Linz Card so it made sense to visit, but I’m not sure I would pay for entry separately unless I had more than a day. The museum has been renovated in recent years and offers a beautiful panorama of the city. The new parts of the museum are well designed, and there’s a really cool entrance through a tunnel dug into the hill that leads to a lift into the museum. The older section within the schloss offers more traditional displays of art, crafts, ethnography, and folklore. There’s a lot to see but the majority is not translated into English. I didn’t find the curation too engaging but it probably appeals more to families.

Amazing. Great view over Linz city center. Wonderful historical building. Interesting exhibitions in Museum. Must go if you visit Linz and also want a historical perspective.

A beautiful museum with three floors open to visitors. It was a great experience even for the kids, as there were activities for them too. Well worth a visit!

Beautiful museum on top of a small hill with lots of very interesting exhibits. Tickets were also very cheap, only 6.5 euros for adults and 3 euros for students. Really worth the money with the quality of the exhibits. There is also a very interesting cave lift entrance for people who don't want to climb the hill to access the main entrance.

A really interesting museum. Worth visiting for different age. A bit funny combination of objects under display though. Amusing) There's a restaurant too.

This is really three museums in one, each being excellent. The Jugendstil/Modernist exhibition is very good and informative (the highlight I think); the technical museum is small, diverse and well presented. Then there is the castle museum, which besides lots of period furniture (most castles have) has two really interesting sections. There's one about nativity scenes made from wood, which was amazing (I'm not religious). This shows how important religion is/was here. Then there is a coin collection, which highlights how all traders passed through upper Austria. Again, I am not coin fan, but the range of coins and display was really interesting. Not a place for younger children and best avoid school groups if you can! Ps. I didn't even know there was a natural history bit, but that sounds good too.

The museum and the exhibits and quite well maintained. The ticket was 6.5 euros and they gave multiple exhibits, we really liked the nature one. It's a good place to come with kids since they have a lot of activities for them.

An extensive and very nice exhibition from the Linz region.
