Museum Kunst der Verlorenen Generation — Attraction in Salzburg

I recently visited the Museum Kunst der Verlorenen Generation and found it to be a truly intriguing experience. The museum’s concept, focusing on the Lost Generation of World War Two, is compelling and thought-provoking.

This artist, living in fear and uncertainty, managed to create a beautiful depiction of Vandal Park. Tragically, the artist was eventually discovered by the Nazis and his body of work was largely destroyed. This painting is one of the few surviving pieces. Knowing this backstory adds a profound layer of meaning to the art, making it a poignant reminder of the resilience of the human spirit in the face of adversity.

The stories of the artists are often very moving. They currently only have biographies in German but are apparently working on English ones and the staff were very happy to answer questions in English. We even spotted the...

The receptionist was helpful and explained a history of the displayed works. You could take photos and sit and observe the paintings as long as you want. The building is small but impressive and bright. Ticket is a bit expensive, 14 € per adult. For art lovers who are interested in knowing a generation of committed artists who have gone through harsh racial, political restrictions is definitely...
