Blind Date – Appointment with a Collection / Nordico Stadtmuseum Linz

16.6. – 22.10.2023

Blinde Date is a rendezvous with artefacts that visitors to the Nordico City Museum have not yet met and know little or nothing about.

The curious, the everyday, the big, the small and the precious, from the garter to the work of art: there is no overarching theme that concentrates on a specific area of the collection or prefers certain content and leaves out others. As in a cabinet of art and curiosities, things of different origin and purpose are presented together. Everything is of the same value, whether small or large, old or comparatively new, made of precious material or of little material value, whether it is an important painting or a simple everyday object.

Blind Date presents unusual visual experiences and the city museum as a creative place of research. Visitors are invited to approach the exhibits with an open mind and with aesthetic sensitivity. A completely new look at the Nordico collection that sharpens perception and sparks the joy of discovery.

Curated by Sabine Fellner.
