In 2024, Erwin Hauser, Vice President of the Lentos Friends [Association of Friends of the Lentos], donated his art collection of 2,994 works to the city of Linz and the Lentos.

To mark this occasion, Lentos is presenting an initial ‘best of’ exhibition that provides insights into the history of the collection and showcases the highlights of this outstanding collection of predominantly Austrian artists, which the Linz entrepreneur has built up over the last 25 years with his expert judgement.

The Erwin Hauser Collection, one of the most important private collections in Austria, comprises paintings, sculptures, photographs and drawings by around 770 Austrian artists from the 19th century to the present day.
