It conveys the latest art trends and integrates them into the art history of the 20th century. The programme of the FC - Francisco Carolinum is determined by the interweaving of regional, national and international art production. As a house for photography and media art, the Francisco Carolinum is highly relevant in the international art discourse and enjoys a high reputation. Its focus on international positions makes it an important place for global discourse in contemporary photography and media art.The museum's exhibitions, which range from traditional photography to experimental media art, are known for their border-crossing and innovative perspectives. The Francisco Carolinum stands out for its ability to take up current developments in art forms and integrate them into a broader cultural and social context. In addition to its role as an exhibition space, the Francisco Carolinum also acts as a platform for exchange and discussion, further consolidating its international reputation. It promotes the understanding and appreciation of media art and photography through a diverse program that includes guided tours, workshops and lectures. As a meeting place for artists, critics and art lovers from all over the world, it makes a significant contribution to Austria's cultural landscape and strengthens international artistic exchange. The extensive renovations of recent years have largely been completed. Another milestone was reached in the first half of 2024 with the opening of the Hans Frank Gallery for classical photography on the ground floor. With the completion of the extensive refurbishment, the Francisco Carolinum, the most important historicist building in Linz, has been restored to its original splendor. This restoration has not only preserved the historic building, but also restored its original architectural splendor.
