Yesterday afternoon, Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner opened the new exhibition “Dream … dreams” at Schallaburg, which invites you to dive into a world full of imagination and reality until November 2. At the Schallaburg in particular, people had dreamed great from the start, said the governor. “Today it is not just a place of encounter for people of all ages – it has established itself for an international exhibition house.”
The Schallaburg is a crowd puller, said Mikl-Leitner: “Since the foundation, 6.5 million people have visited Schallaburg and 98 percent of all guests also recommend a visit.” She further explained: “The Schallaburg fulfills our claim that art and culture must be noticeable, tangible and, above all, affordable – which it creates as a partner of our family pass and the Lower Austrian Card.” At the Schallaburg, cultural mediation passes up to date, which once again prove with the new exhibition “Dreams … dreams: sleeping, awake & visionary”. “The Schallburg team has created an interactive dream landscape for the whole family, which motivates to discover a lot of new things.”
The exhibition title “Dreams … dreams” is reflected in the cultural area in Lower Austria, said Mikl-Leitner: “Here we fulfilled a lot of dreams here alone last year.” For example, she spoke of the former St. Pölten synagogue, “which has become the heart of memorial culture in Lower Austria and the entire Republic one year after the reopening.” In addition, of the renovation, renovation and reopening of the city theater in Wiener Neustadt and “The third dream was a separate cultural institution especially for our children. We fulfilled this dream with the St. Pölten children’s art laboratory, which is unique in Europe.”
Cultural policy in Lower Austria as a whole was a big dream that had come true, emphasized the governor. A few decades ago, the federal state was culturally in the shade of the federal capital, but with its own cultural strategy that has been implemented step by step and where you have invested a lot of money in the culture, “we have stepped out of the shadow of Vienna. We are now strong cultural land that is accepted and recognized nationally and internationally and we have achieved our goal: Today, art and culture is noticeable at all corners and corporations palpable. ” In Lower Austria with more than 800 museums, the largest museum density in Europe, over 400 music and theater stages, has been had a nationwide network of music schools and hundreds of art, cultural, wind music clubs and choirs.
Schallaburg Managing Director Erwin Klissenbauer thanked his team, “above all with the designers of this exhibition, the curator and curator Maria Prantl, Joanna Wiseman, Renate Wardetschka and Christian Rapp.” And he also underlined: “What would the Schallaburg be without its audience – you are on the bread.”
