* The [[Lentos Art Museum|Lentos]] (built 2003) is a modern art gallery, presenting art from the 20th and 21st centuries. It is situated on the south banks of the river Danube. The building can be illuminated at night from the inside with blue, pink, red and violet, due to its plastic casing.
* [[Ars Electronica Center]] (AEC) (also called ''museum of the future'') is a museum and research facility on the north bank of the Danube (in the Urfahr district), across the river from the Hauptplatz (main square). The AEC is a significant world centre for new media arts, attracting a large gathering of technologically oriented artists every year for the [[Electronic art|Ars Electronica Festival]]. The AEC museum is home to the Deep Space 8K, which offers a unique [[File:Linz Ars electronica center rotblau DL.jpg|thumb|[[Ars Electronica Center]]]]virtual world with wall and floor projections (each {{cvt|16 by 9|m|disp=sqbr}}), laser tracking and 3-D animations.
