Despite the long lockdown caused by the pandemic and a loss of around 230,000 euros in the proceeds, the museums of the city of Linz presented a balanced annual result for 2020 in the 2020 accounts. The Lentos Art Museum and the Nordico City Museum announced this in a broadcast on Saturday. As a result of the 2020 pandemic, sales were around 40 percent below the original budget, and a consolidation program was implemented.
“As things stand at the moment, we are assuming that we will be able to cope well with this year with the funds provided and continue to ensure the economic stability of the company,” said the commercial director Gernot Barounig in a broadcast. Since the resumption of public operations, there has been an upward trend. However, it is still a long way from normal operation. In view of the ongoing economic challenges, countermeasures were taken in all areas of the company.
