About the location (from Wiki):
As the successor of the New Gallery of the City of Linz, the Lentos Art Museum, which opened in May 2003, is among the most important museums of modern art in Austria. The clear and coherent structural design, created by the Zurich architects Weber & Hofer, provides Linz with a museum of art of international status, positioned in the urban context. The internationally acclaimed 130 meter long building by the Zurich architects Weber & Hofer provides approximately 8000 m2 for use and is located directly on the Danube between the Nibelungen Bridge and Brucknerhaus. The appearance of the building is remarkable for its transparent glass casing, attractively lit at night. There is a café with a viewing terrace on the ground floor.
Works of the following artists are part of the sculpture-collection of the museum: [[Stephan Balkenhol, Ernst Barlach, Michael Buthe, Anthony Caro, Tony Cragg, Canan Dagdelen, Amadeo Gabino, Mathias Goeritz, Shirazeh Houshiary, Leiko Ikemura, Donald Judd, Jiri Kolár, Catherin Lee, Thomas Lenk, Baltasar Lobo, Claes Oldenburg, A.R. Penck, Klaus Rinke, Karl Schmidt-Rottluff, Tim Scott, Daniel Spoerri, Rini Tandon, Jan Voss, Simon Wachsmuth und Tom Wesselmann. The holdings are continuously expanded through active acquisition policies. Since May 2004 the Viennese curator, critic and journalist Stella Rollig has been the director of the Lentos Art museum. In addition to the existing collection, modern art and the most current trends in contemporary art are presented in changing exhibitions.
