All exhibition openings have been put on hold until further notice. The museums must remain closed for the moment.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On April 1st, the museums of the <em>Ober\u00f6sterreichisches Landesmuseum <\/em>were separated from the provincial administration and merged into a joint limited company with the <em>O\u00d6 Kulturquartier<\/em>, of which Alfred Weidinger has now been put in charge.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Despite the difficult starting conditions caused by the Corona crisis, Alfred Weidinger is a pragmatic optimist: \u201cAs an independent limited company, we can deal with such a crisis much more flexibly. We must now adjust our multi-annual budget plan accordingly. That would not have been easy as part of the state administration.\u201d Weidinger, who together with Albrecht Schr\u00f6der has already accompanied the successful outsourcing of the <em>Albertina <\/em>in Vienna, is already well within the future: \u201cRediscovering the Future\u201d is also the guiding principle of his concept for the <em>Ober\u00f6sterreichisches Landesmuseum<\/em>, which formed the basis for his appointment as director. This is also accompanied by the realignment of several houses in the large network of this universal museum with a total of 12 locations throughout Upper Austria.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The <em>Landesgalerie Linz <\/em>is getting back its original name <em>Francisco Carolineum <\/em>and is being transformed into a museum of photography and media art.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Weidinger expects the new company structure and the merging with the <em>O\u00d6 Kulturquartier <\/em>to provide much greater flexibility in terms of content, which will make it possible to quickly and interdisciplinarily react to current challenges across several houses.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In Weidinger\u2019s perspective, the current Corona crisis is even an opportunity, at least from this point of view. It offers the chance to explore these new possibilities for action.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cIt was my plan anyway to expand online story-telling significantly,\u201d says Weidinger. \u201cNow we bring it forward and start more intensively right away.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Several times a week, 20-minute \u201cO\u00d6-STORIES\u201d are streamed live on <em>Facebook <\/em>from one of the 12 locations of the <em>Ober\u00f6sterreichisches&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>Landesmuseum<\/em>. Weidinger wants to offer in- depth content on the work of the museums, which is no longer covered in traditional media. At the same time, his aim is to make the contents and work of the individual houses of the <em>Ober\u00f6sterreichisches Landesmuseum <\/em>accessible to all Upper Austrians, no matter where they live in the country. \u201cOur mission as a state museum is to think of Upper Austria as a unit,\u201d says Weidinger.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Ober\u00f6sterreichische Landesmuseen&nbsp;<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ober\u00f6sterreichische Landeskultur GmbH\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ooelkg.at\">www.ooelkg.at\u00a0<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Alfred Weidinger, the new director of the Ober\u00f6sterreichischen Landesmuseen, has left the crisis behind him.\u00a0 Alfred Weidinger, the new director of Ober\u00f6sterreichisches Landesmuseum since April, had certainly imagined his start in this position to be different.
