Landesausstellungen#

Exhibitions, Provincial (Landesausstellungen), cultural and historical events, usually combined with the restoration of important buildings. Forerunners were the exhibitions, "Der Kremser Schmidt" (painter of the Baroque period) (1951) and "Gotik in Niederoesterreich" (the Gothic period in Lower Austria) (1959) in Krems, Lower Austria; the first actual provincial exhibitions took place in Styria and Lower Austria in 1959 and 1960; most other provinces (Burgenland, Carinthia, Upper Austria, Salzburg, Tirol, Vorarlberg) copied the idea.
