Experience dreams: New show at the Schallaburg inspires young and old!
On April 12, 2025, Governor Johanna Mikl-Leitner opened the new exhibition "Dream ... dream" at Schallaburg. This unique exhibition, which is open until November 2, invites visitors to immerse yourself in a world full of imagination and reality. Mikl-Leitner emphasized that the Schallaburg is an important place to meet people of all ages and an international exhibition house. She emphasized that 6.5 million people have visited the facility since the Schallaburg opened, with 98 percent of the visitors recommending a visit.
The Schallaburg offers art and culture that are noticeable, tangible and affordable for everyone. Visitors learn support from the Lower Austrian family pass and the Lower Austrian Card, which facilitate access to numerous offers. The new exhibition "Dreams ... dream: sleeping, awake & visionary" includes an interactive dream landscape that is accessible to the whole family.
cultural developments in Lower Austria
During her speech, Mikl-Leitner also mentioned significant success of cultural policy in Lower Austria. Various projects were realized last year, including the reopening of the former St. Pölten synagogue as a heart of the memorial culture. The renovation and renewal of the city theater in Wiener Neustadt and the founding of the children's art laboratory in St. Pölten are also among the fulfilled "dreams" in the field of culture.Lower Austria has developed into a strong cultural land in recent years. With over 800 museums, more than 400 music and theater stages as well as an extensive network of music schools and cultural associations, the region is an important player in the cultural landscape. Schallaburg Managing Director Erwin Klissenbauer thanked his team and the exhibition curators during the opening ceremony.
creativity and music for the opening
The opening event was musically designed by saxophonist Gerald Selig. In addition, the musician Ina Regen performed and spoke about the influence of dreams on her creative work. These artistic contributions underlined the topics of the exhibition and enriched the celebration.
Further information on the exhibition "Dream ... dreams" are available on the official website of the Schallaburg. It remains to be seen how many visitors will use the exhibition to explore the connection between dream and reality that makes the Schallaburg so unique. According to current figures, museums are still very popular, which is also reflected in the number of visitors, which are generally in focus for cultural institutions ( Museumsbund ).
