Exhibitions

Welcome to the island hopping. Every work of art with its very specific environment is an island. Ready to be conquered by you. With all your senses. With your heart, your hands and your mind. Touching things and grasping them. The key to this is in your hands. Most of the artworks require your close personal interaction. Experience the change from viewing artworks en passant to actively discovering and exploring them. In an interactive and participatory manner. Seize this opportunity.

The annual exhibition in the Museum of Contemporary Art will, in 2017, provide vivid insights into the Abbey’s past 20 years of collecting present-day artworks, an activity that commenced in 1997.

To complement the unique exhibition of Gothic art that has been on view in the museum of Admont Abbey from May 2017, Admont’s Museum of Fine Arts has been putting several special rarities on display in the 2017 and 2018 season. Please have a look at the winter opening times!

Review to the manuscript-exhibition of 2017: The majority of the 1000 medieval manuscripts held by Admont Benedictine Abbey, some of which were actually produced here, date to the Gothic era.

The theme of our special exhibition for 2015 was the disastrous fire of April 1865. This catastrophe was the worst calamity to befall the Abbey since its foundation in 1045 . 2015 marked the 150th anniversary of the event.
